The Ontario government has announced that applications are now being accepted for the Ontario Together Trade Fund (OTTF) https://www.ontario.ca/page/ontario-together-trade-fund. Ontario businesses can access up to $5 million to make near-term investments to serve more interprovincial customers and re-shore critical supply chains in the face of U.S. tariffs.
With a focus on small and medium enterprises (SMEs), the $50-million program will help businesses build local capacity, enhance trade resiliency, and make the necessary investments to successfully expand into new markets. Projects must address impacts of U.S. trade disruptions.
The ministry is hosting a webinar on Thursday May 22nd to inform potential applicants about the program. Those interested can register for the webinar here: https://events.teams.microsoft.com/event/f1536cc3-27d0-4612-8bb4-42bde03f4d58@cddc1229-ac2a-4b97-b78a-0e5cacb5865c
