Small Business Innovation Challenge (SBIC)

Delivered by Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) on behalf of the Government of Ontario, the Small Business Innovation Challenge (SBIC) provides direct funding to high-potential, technology-driven start-ups and small- and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) to address pressing public sector business challenges in an applied setting, as well as a platform to springboard their technology innovations from the conceptual stage to globally competitive products and services.

OCE will be hosting a Partnering Forum on March 1, 2017, where representatives from the Government of Ontario, Champion Ministries, and OCE will present further details on the SBIC Program and the Problem Statements. The Forum will be a great opportunity for interested SMEs to gain further insight about the Program. Interested SMEs can register to attend (spaces are limited and are first come first serve).
