Access up to $15,000 to develop a Digital Modernization & Adoption Plan

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) face a multitude of ever-evolving challenges, and some may need expert guidance and financial support to both adopt and adapt to modern technologies, environments, and customers.

Fortunately, the Digitalization Competence Centre (DCC) of the Ontario Centre for Innovation (OCI) recognizes that digital transformation is key to the success and growth of Ontario’s SMEs, and the Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan (DMAP) program enables SMEs to understand and use new technology to release better products faster, reach the right customers, and offer more positive service experiences.

What is the DMAP program?

Digitalization is redefining the future of businesses, and the DMAP program empowers SMEs to find their place and thrive at the forefront of digital transformation by helping them understand their technology needs, guide decision-making, and optimize technology investments.

Through the program, your business can receive up to $15,000 in reimbursement funds to engage a qualified Digital Adoption Consultant (DAC) to create a tailor-made Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan for your business’ digital transformation to improve efficiency, growth, and competitiveness.

Is my business eligible for the program?

Your business may be eligible to apply for the Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan program of OCI if it:

  • Has a valid business number and is incorporated federally or provincially
  • Is a privately-owned for-profit business with between 1 and 499 employees
  • Values growth and innovation and has a permanent establishment in Ontario
  • Recognizes the importance and/or need of a digital strategy to guide change
  • Has the capability to implement and sustain new proposed technologies

How does our DMAP process work?

The DMAP is a competitive program, and you can take full advantage of the experience and expertise of our ACT team to save your business valuable time and effort in planning, preparing, and following up on your DMAP application.

Every good plan needs to be followed through. Ontario businesses that have successfully completed the DMAP program can receive additional support through the DCC Technology Demonstration Program (Demo), which offers up to $150,000 of additional reimbursement funding to implement their Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan.

Upon completion of the DMAP program, your business will also gain fast-track access to the zero-interest BDC loan of up to $100,000 and $7,300/head wage subsidy offered by the federal Canada Digital Adoption Program (CDAP).
