Today, OINP announced that the Toronto Business Development Centre (TBDC) has been selected to deliver the Ontario Entrepreneur Pilot for two-years. TBDC was selected through a publicly posted competitive request for bids. Moving forward, the TBDC will be working closely with the OINP to develop and launch the pilot.

This project will select 100 international entrepreneurs who wants to start a new business or purchase an existing business outside of the Greater Toronto Area.

At the time of announcement, OINP enlisted that minimum investment required by the applicants will be $200,000 and Ontario government is aiming at generating $20 million of investment from these 100 entrepreneurs.
