Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE)
The Information and Communication Technology (ICT) sector has experienced steady growth over the last five years. Ontario is Canada’s leader in ICT, accounting for half of the country’s ICT activity and 70 per cent of its ICT research and development. The Centre of Excellence for Communications and Information Technology is focused on fostering innovation in this vital area for Ontario’s prosperity.
The Centre works with industry to solve problems, engaging the brightest minds at Ontario’s universities and colleges in the challenges faced by businesses. We do this by co-investing in the research and development of leading-edge, industrially relevant, technologies – and moving the results into the marketplace, through existing companies or new, spin-off enterprises. The Centre of Excellence for Communications and Information Technology offers a wealth of expertise and experience. The Centre’s solid track record of commercialization success has earned the trust of academic partners, industry and government, and venture capital and angel investors. Integrated with this offering is its role as a catalyst for next-generation talent, connecting businesses with the people who bring a competitive edge.
