(October 29, 2025) TORONTO, ON – Under the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) Incubators program, Ontario is continuing to build the automotive supply chain of the future through the expansion of strategic partnerships. Following a successful first year, OVIN Incubators welcomes Infineon Technologies, the world’s leading supplier of automotive semiconductors, as its newest industry partner.
“Semiconductors are the foundation of modern automotive innovation, powering everything from electric vehicles to advanced driver systems,” said Vic Fedeli, Minister of Economic Development, Job Creation and Trade. “The partnership between Infineon Technologies and the OVIN Incubators will leverage Ontario’s industry expertise alongside Infineon’s research excellence to strengthen the province’s automotive supply chain and open new doors for Ontario companies seeking to develop, test, and deploy cutting-edge mobility solutions.”
This strategic partnership will combine Infineon’s cutting-edge technology with OVIN’s extensive network to accelerate automotive and mobility innovations and the creation of new, Ontario-based ventures.
“Ontario is laying the groundwork for the next century of automotive excellence, harnessing a generational opportunity to protect the jobs of today and create the jobs of tomorrow,” said Raed Kadri, Head of OVIN at the Ontario Centre of Innovation (OCI). “The continued growth of the OVIN Incubators represents a vital link in Ontario’s vision to build the cars of the future and power the world’s future supply chain with Ontario-based talent and Ontario-made innovation.”
Since its launch in 2024, the OVIN Incubators has strengthened collaboration between industry, researchers, start-ups, and scale-ups. It is a central platform for global industry leaders to connect with researchers and Ontario-based companies, paving the way for the development of next-generation automotive and mobility technologies and integrated supply chains, while fostering Ontario ventures.
“Since establishing Infineon in Canada through the acquisition of GaN Systems in 2023, we have been building our role in Ontario’s vibrant mobility ecosystem,” said Benoit Rousseau, Vice President, GaN Automotive & Managing Director of Infineon Technologies Canada Inc. “Partnering with OVIN reflects our commitment to combine local innovation with Infineon’s global leadership in decarbonization and digitalization to accelerate the future of mobility.”
With an expansive portfolio spanning processing, sensing, power, memory and connectivity, Infineon will provide expert insights into the evolving automotive and semiconductor landscape Infineon is enhancing its worldwide reach by expanding strategic partnerships with leading global companies and alliances, strengthening its position in international markets.
Together, OVIN and Infineon will unlock new opportunities for Ontario companies to participate in the growing automotive and semiconductor supply chain.
