Ontario Creates has created a range of programs and resources to provide financial, strategic and research support to Ontario’s cultural entrepreneurs and established trade and event organizations from the interactive industry.

Ontario Creates support provides opportunities for producers of interactive content to create new products, access existing and new markets and grow their business.

Support is also available to established trade and event organizations for activities that stimulate the growth of Ontario's interactive industry.

Research grants are also available to incorporated not-for-profit industry organizations undertaking research initiatives that support or complement the mandate of Ontario Creates.

The IP Fund will combine the current Film Fund and Interactive Digital Media (IDM) Fund – Concept Definition and Production programs into a single, integrated program that supports screen-based content creation by Ontario companies.
