Manufacturing Grants & Loans: DMAP, TDP, CME TIP, FedDev BSP

Ontario’s Digitalization Competence Centre (DCC) is tailor-made for manufacturers modernizing processes:

‍

DMAP – Digital Modernization & Adoption Plan (Ontario Centre of Innovation)

• Up to $15K for a custom digital adoption plan with a vetted consultant (Ontario SMEs, 1–499 FTEs). (Ontario Centre of Innovation)

TDP – Technology Demonstration Program (OCI/DCC)

• Up to $100K to implement your DMAP recommendations; typical eligibility includes $500k+ in revenue and Ontario SME footprint. (Ontario Centre of Innovation)

CME Technology Investment Program (TIP)

• For southern Ontario SME manufacturers automating production; up to 50% of costs to $50,000 (admin partner CME; competitive intakes). (See Ontario directory for quick reference.) (Ryan)

FedDev Ontario – Business Scale-Up and Productivity (BSP)

• Interest-free, repayable contributions (“no-interest loans”)—$125,000 to $10M typical per project; often up to 35% of eligible costs; repayments usually start within a year of project completion. Great for equipment, scaling, tech adoption. (FedDev Ontario)

Where this shines

• Automation/robotics cells, MES/ERP integration, IIoT retrofits, quality & traceability, and supply-chain digitization.

Application tips

• Sequence DMAP → TDP so your plan feeds implementation (clean narrative). (Ontario Centre of Innovation)
• For BSP, show productivity KPIs (throughput, yield, OEE), export growth and job outcomes; line up co-funding. (FedDev Ontario)
