President & CEO's Message
Accelerating From Here To Next
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.
OCE’s programs in Research, Commercialization and Talent focus on
sectors and technologies key to the province’s economic strength
and future vitality. And the OCE team brings a unique combination of scientific,
business and entrepreneurial expertise to the commercialization process.
With the foresight to identify the research that promises next and the
insight to accelerate the process of delivering next, OCE charts the path
from idea to income.
We want to help you find the people and resources you need to get from
here to next faster – and make Ontario more competitive along the
way.
