GreenFirst Forest Products has secured C$7.5 million from the Government of Ontario to upgrade its Chapleau facility. The funding includes C$5.9 million through the Forest Sector Investment and Innovation Program for a new sawline and high-speed planer, provided as a performance-based loan with up to 50% forgiveness. An additional C$1.6 million from the Forest Biomass Program will support feasibility work for a potential torrefied pellet facility. If developed, the pellet facility could create 30 direct and 70 indirect jobs whilst exploring new markets for forest biomass. Both the sawline and planer are installed and ramping up operations. Since 2021, GreenFirst has invested over C$70 million across its Ontario facilities.
Ontario-based HYGN Energy is developing hydrogen energy storage solutions for industrial power and off-grid electric vehicle charging through a new project funded by the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN). The project represents a total investment of over $2 million, including up to $696,000 from the Province of Ontario and over $1.2 million in industry contributions. HYGN Energy, partnering with Rainbow Concrete Industries and Debwewin-HYGN Technologies, will demonstrate its HYGN Hydrogen Battery at an active industrial site. The system stores electrical energy by producing hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis, then converts it back to electricity through combustion-based power generation. Unlike conventional batteries, the technology does not use a fuel cell and produces hydrogen on-site from electricity and water, eliminating the need for specialised hydrogen infrastructure.
In support of the company's investment, Ontario provided $5 million in funding through the Advanced Manufacturing and Innovation Competitiveness (AMIC) stream of the Regional Development Program (RDP).
ChargeLab, a Toronto-based EV charging software company, has received $400,000 in funding from the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network R&D Partnership Fund. The investment will support development of a local controller for EV charging sites. The device combines hardware and software to enable charging operations during network outages. It provides offline redundancy, allowing chargers to function when connectivity is interrupted, and performs local load management to balance electrical demand in real time. The controller also uses AI to support intelligent session routing, predictive maintenance, and optimisation without relying on cloud connections. The total project value is $1.2 million, with over $800,000 contributed by partners. ChargeLab's platform is hardware-agnostic and OCPP-compliant, serving site hosts, property managers, fleets, and charging networks across North America.
IDENTOS has been awarded $975,645 from Ontario's Life Sciences Scale-Up Fund to support a $3 million investment in its Digital Trust Exchange (DTx) platform. The Toronto-based company was one of 11 recipients in a round totalling over $18 million. DTx is a secure healthcare data-sharing platform built on FHIR standards. It enables healthcare and government organisations to exchange information in real time whilst managing privacy and consent at infrastructure level. The platform's first deployment will support Ontario Health Teams in connecting unattached patients to primary care, addressing a provincial mandate to attach approximately 500,000 patients during the 2026/27 fiscal year. DTx features single sign-on capabilities and policy-based access control to reduce administrative burden on clinicians. A pilot launch is expected by the end of 2026.
