The Customer Demonstration Program provides Ontario government grants to support technology demonstrations between two or more Ontario-based businesses. Through the program, funding will be awarded for innovative “market disruptors” to demonstrate the value of smart computing products/services to a “receptor” who can purchase and adopt the technology. This helps overcome commercialization barriers and helps generate a business case for wide-scale adoption.
