Technology Development Fund: Managing Institutions

The Technology Development Fund is a collaboration of the Ontario Power Authority and two managing institutions. Applications for financial support from the Fund can be made through one of these two managing institutions.

Ontario Centres of Excellence - Centre for Energy
www.oce-ontario.org
For projects involving partnerships with Ontario academic institutions.

The Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) were founded in 1987 and consist of five centres, including the Centre for Energy. Collectively, the centres promote the economic development of Ontario through directed research, commercialization of technology and training for highly qualified personnel. The centres are among the few publicly funded institutions that systematically integrate and manage connections from university to marketplace to ensure the successful application of innovative science and technology to profitable new businesses.

Centre for Energy Advancement through Technological Innovation
www.ceatech.ca
For projects involving collaborations with industry.

CEATI International brings together electricity utility professionals from across the world through focused interest groups and collaborative projects to identify and address technical issues that are critical to electricity sector participants. Participants collaborate through interest groups to identify, develop and fund projects that respond to their and the OPA’s strategic goals.

The role of the managing institutions is to:

Attract promising projects that are consistent with the OPA’s guidelines
Bring these projects to the attention of OPA staff to ensure a fit with the OPA’s objectives
Manage the application process, including working with the applicant to develop a proposal
Assemble completed application packages for submission to the Technology Development Fund’s Grant Award Committee
Manage the reporting, invoicing and progress of all approved projects

The OPA provides funding to the managing institutions to combine with other resources to maximize the value of the OPA’s contribution.
