Ontario Together Fund

Ontario businesses with ideas that strengthen local supply chains or address urgent market needs may recognize the Ontario Together Fund as one of the province’s more flexible innovation-focused funding opportunities. Created by the Government of Ontario, the program was designed to help businesses quickly develop, produce, or scale solutions that respond to emerging economic and public needs, particularly in manufacturing, technology, and product development. Rather than focusing on a single sector, the fund has supported a wide range of projects that demonstrate strong potential impact for Ontario’s economy.

The Ontario Together Fund is typically aligned with projects that require rapid commercialization, retooling, or expansion of production capacity. This has included support for companies adapting their operations, developing new products, or collaborating with partners to meet provincial priorities. Funding levels vary by project scope and complexity, but support is generally provided as non-repayable contributions, helping reduce the financial risk associated with moving quickly on time-sensitive opportunities.

Because the program is project-driven and responsive to provincial priorities, requirements and intake periods can evolve over time. Businesses considering this fund should be prepared to clearly demonstrate the value, feasibility, and economic benefit of their proposed solution. For Ontario companies looking to understand how this program could apply to their specific project, reviewing detailed criteria and current intake information through GrantHub is a smart next step.
