      Green Industrial Facilities and Manufacturing Program

      Under the Industrial Facility track, eligible projects include those that support the implementation of energy efficiency and energy management solutions. 

      These activities are intended for industrial facilities that are engaged in energy consuming processes that involve the physical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products.

      Eligible recipients under the Industrial Facility track are Canadian facilities in any industrial sector that are engaged in energy consuming processes that involve the physical or chemical transformation of materials or substances into new products, regardless of the size of the facilities. The maximum amount of NRCan funding that can be requested under Track 2 is $10 million.

      Technology Investment Program CME

      Ontario manufacturers remain slow adopters of advanced manufacturing technology such as robotics, artificial intelligence, advanced networks and the Internet of Things. The Technology Investment Program seeks to reverse a 14.8 percent fall in machinery and equipment (M&E) investment in Ontario.

      The program provides direct financial assistance to SME manufacturers in southern Ontario in the form of a matching contribution of up to $50,000 (a maximum of 50% of eligible costs, which can include capital equipment, materials, training on new equipment, installation of new equipment, professional service fees, as well as a company’s direct labour devoted to the completion and management of the project) to support the investment in long-term production.
