Welcome to the new Ontario
Centres of Excellence website. Reflecting the energy
of the emerging culture of innovation in Ontario, the
site is designed as a dynamic point of access to the
people and information that help this province thrive.
And because OCE measures our success through the successes
of our partners, their stories and their achievements
are featured front and centre.
OCE has been accelerating
the commercialization of innovation since 1987. We
have evolved a great deal over that time, while never
losing sight of our primary function: to drive economic
prosperity and growth for Ontario. We are the matchmakers
between industry and Ontario’s cutting-edge researchers.
And the matches we make have the power to revolutionize
Ontario businesses. more
