History
Ontario Genomics was established in 2000, following a landmark decision by the Canadian Government to support the science of genomics.
Since its inception, Ontario Genomics has:
- Raised more than $1 billion for genomics research in Ontario and directly supported 7300 R&D jobs
- Secured over $375M federal Genome Canada funds, $103M provincial (Ministry of Research Innovation and Science) co-funding, and $180M direct industry investments for Ontario genomics research programs.
- Brought 16 genomics companies to the “investor-ready” stage and helped secure $197M follow on funding. These companies created 289 private sector jobs and generated $56.3M in revenue.
