Company profile
The Government of Ontario presents Ontario as Canada's largest province, a center of technology innovation, and a strategic participant in the evolving semiconductor supply chain. Ontario accounts for more than 60% of Canada's semiconductor value-added output and has an ecosystem that includes design houses, fabs, research institutes, and hardware startups. Semiconductor activity is concentrated mainly in Ottawa, Waterloo, Markham, and Toronto, where advanced R&D and facilities support semiconductor and electronics manufacturing across the product lifecycle. Ontario's chip-design and semiconductor research environment includes the TSMC Design Center in Ottawa and ventureLab's Hardware Catalyst Initiative in Markham. The ecosystem has also attracted semiconductor companies including TSMC, Samsung Electronics, AMD, Qualcomm, and Intel. Ontario's location in North America provides access to global value chains, while Canada's free trade agreements cover nearly 1.5 billion consumers across 50 countries and two-thirds of the global economy. Ontario businesses operate with a diverse and highly skilled workforce and are presented as experienced in global supply chains, adaptability, industry-standard compliance, and sustainability. They also operate within a stable political and economic environment and draw on strategic expertise and adaptability as factors for managing sourcing and supply-chain risk. The province's innovation record spans more than 150 years and includes work in artificial intelligence, robotics, mobility, medicine, smartphones, advanced encryption, GIS software, and IMAX technology. Ontario's broader innovation economy includes companies such as Magna International and Shopify, while firms including Linamar, Biosystems, and Siemens are associated with products and services supported by industry, research, and government partnerships. The Government of Ontario promotes research and development, ideas, expertise, and intellectual property, together with a business environment intended to streamline trade policies and reduce operating costs. Ontario's workforce and business environment also encourage international partnerships, connecting product development with companies seeking technology and manufacturing solutions from the province.
