The Governments of Ontario and Canada have each pledged CAD$50 million to the fund, and private sector partner commitments boosted the total to CAD$217 million under the first closing.

As additional private investors get on board, the funding may increase up to CAD$300 million. Ontario is aiming to use this fund to attract investments to the province and help Ontario-based businesses compete globally.

Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne said in a statement that they want to continue to attract investments to Ontario and support the most innovative companies. Premier Wynne added that funds like these are a great tool to help companies access the capital they need to grow, create jobs and expand into global markets.
