OVIN Demonstration Zone
The Province of Ontario has awarded the cities of Vaughan and Markham $2.5 million in funding to launch an Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) Demonstration Zone
About the Project
The OVIN Demonstration Zone supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in demonstrating and showcasing advanced automotive and smart mobility technologies and solutions, including connected, autonomous, shared and integrated mobility, robotics and electric vehicle solutions.
Technology demonstrations will be conducted in real-world environments using digital and physical infrastructure throughout the entire city of Vaughan to solve real-world transportation and mobility challenges and provide the public with an opportunity to learn about and experience these advanced technologies.
Companies will be able to respond to ongoing calls for applications and submit their innovative automotive and smart mobility technologies and solutions.
About the Demonstration Zone
Located in Vaughan, the Zone offers a unique opportunity to test and validate technologies in a live environment.
The OVIN Demonstration Zone provides a real-world environment that promotes collaboration to advance the commercialization of automotive technologies and accelerate smart mobility innovation. These technologies have the potential to improve quality of life, while generating new economic opportunities for Ontario.
The Demonstration Zone will operate in sites across the York Region, home to Canada’s largest automotive parts and electronics manufacturing hub, primarily in Vaughan.
