While Ontario offers some of the world’s most welcoming immigration programs, a highly-skilled workforce and strategic access to the North American market, we know that government programs and incentives can drive the decision-making process to relocate or expand new and existing operations. That’s why we offer programs and services that speak to the needs of your business, spanning research and development, site selection, talent attraction, future-skilling, business costs, exporting and industry-specific supports.
Below is a snapshot of the types of programs and incentives available to businesses operating in Ontario.

Ontario is where bold ideas come to life, tackling some of the biggest challenges the world has ever seen. Whether in the science lab or the computer lab, we have supports in place to help advance innovations across all sectors through research and development projects and at the forefront of the global tech breakthroughs.
Ontario is home to a mosaic of communities, each with unique attributes and opportunities that help local businesses succeed. Depending on your company’s site requirements, locating in different regions across the province could unlock additional incentives.
From advanced manufacturing to medical technology, financial services to forestry, Ontario companies have access to a robust pipeline of talent through the province’s 44 colleges and universities that produce workforce-ready graduates at all skill levels, including nearly 50,000 STEM graduates annually. To complement our steady supply of talent, Ontario layers on employment programs and tax credits to further assist businesses to access new talent and upskill or reskill their existing workforce—critical factors to compete successfully in the global marketplace.
Businesses operating in Ontario can tap into incentives and usage optimization programs for “cost of doing business” items such as utilities and capital investments.
