Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network

The automotive industry is undergoing a significant shift, with technological advances and evolving mobility preferences redefining its future. Through the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN), Ontario is at the forefront of this transformation. OVIN capitalizes on the economic potential of advanced automotive technologies and smart mobility solutions such as connected and autonomous vehicles (C/AVs), and electric and low-carbon vehicle technologies, while enabling the province’s transportation and infrastructure networks to plan for and adapt to this evolution. OVIN is accelerating the development and commercialization of next generation electric, connected and autonomous vehicle and mobility technologies and supporting Ontario’s role as the manufacturing hub of Canada, while leveraging critical minerals development in Ontario’s North. OVIN has five main objectives: 1. Foster the commercialization of Ontario-made advanced automotive technologies and smart mobility solutions 2. Showcase the Province of Ontario as the leader in the development, testing, piloting and adoption of the latest transportation and infrastructure technologies 3. Drive innovation and collaboration among stakeholders at the convergence of automotive and technology 4. Leverage and retain Ontario’s highly skilled talent, and prepare Ontario's workforce for jobs of the future in the automotive and mobility sectors 5. Harness the Province of Ontario’s regional strengths and capabilities, and bridge its automotive and technology clusters to promote the development of electric vehicle and power train technologies in Ontario
