McGuinty Government Invests in Innovation And Job Creation

Ontario is helping three emerging high-tech companies bring innovative products and services to market, which will support the region's high-tech industry and create new jobs.

The Investment Accelerator Fund will support new technology development and help the companies attract investment and secure major customers. Together, they expect to create 95 jobs over the next two years. The three companies are:

  • Client Outlook Inc. - their software lets hospitals share digital X-rays, for more efficient patient care decisions and reduced patient wait times
  • Dejero Labs - their technology makes it possible to transmit broadcast-quality live video over cellular networks, simply and economically - as seen in the live coverage of the Olympic Torch Relay
  • DossierView - will offer software designed to provide more efficient desktop management and more intelligent searching, both locally and over the Internet.

These investments are part of Ontario's Innovation Agenda, the province's plan to make innovation a driving force of Ontario's economy, and support the Open Ontario Plan to build new opportunities for growth and jobs.


Quick Facts
