OVIN — C/AV and Smart Mobility — Stream 2

Ontario companies working on connected, autonomous, and smart mobility technologies often reach a stage where proving real-world performance is critical to winning customers and partners. OVIN’s C/AV and Smart Mobility — Stream 2 is designed for that moment, helping businesses move beyond early development and into large-scale demonstration and commercialization. Delivered by the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network, the program supports ambitious projects that showcase Ontario-made technologies across passenger vehicles, heavy-duty and commercial fleets, transit systems, and transportation infrastructure.

This stream focuses on collaborative projects that bring industry, researchers, and other partners together to validate and demonstrate solutions in real operating environments. Funding of up to about one million dollars is available on a non-repayable basis to help offset development, testing, piloting, and demonstration costs. Projects are expected to have strong commercial potential and a clear path to market, whether that involves intelligent transportation systems, vehicle automation, data-driven mobility platforms, or technologies that improve safety, efficiency, and environmental performance. Co-investment from participating organizations is required, making this program particularly attractive for businesses ready to scale with committed partners.

Applications are currently being accepted on an ongoing basis for Ontario-based businesses meeting certain requirements. For companies looking to accelerate commercialization while building strategic partnerships in the mobility ecosystem, exploring the full details of this OVIN funding opportunity is a smart next step.
