Ontario’s Defence Industrial Strategy (ODIS): What It Means for R&D-Intensive Businesses
Ontario unveiled the framework for its first-ever Ontario Defence Industrial Strategy (ODIS), a 10-year strategy intended to grow the province's defence industry and position Ontario companies and workers as pillars of Canada's defence landscape.
The announcement marked the opening move in a multi-year industrial transformation that creates a new layer of strategic opportunity for Ontario businesses doing genuine R&D work that directly complements existing federal funding programs.
Here's what the ODIS framework says, why it matters, and how your innovation funding strategy should respond.
