AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE INNOVATION NETWORK (AVIN)

The Autonomous Vehicle Innovation Network (AVIN) builds upon Ontario’s position as a world-leading automotive manufacturing and supply jurisdiction in addition to the large cluster of information and communication technology companies operating in the province. Ontario’s high-quality post-secondary institutions, first class talent, innovative small and medium sized enterprises and infrastructure to support entrepreneurship ensures that the province is uniquely-positioned to capture the economic opportunity of the connected and automated vehicle (C/AV) technology space and lead the global mobility evolution.

AREAS OF FOCUSAVIN’s four distinct programs focus on supporting the development and demonstration of C/AV technologies, including infrastructure, related to: commercially ready technologies for application in mass light vehicles (e.g., cars, trucks, and vans), heavy-duty vehicles (including commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, recreational vehicles (RVs) and others used for goods movement), transportation infrastructure, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and transit-supportive systems and vehicles in Ontario.

AVIN is supported by the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation, and Trade (MEDJCT) and the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) and administered by OCE.

CENTRAL HUBThe AVIN Central Hub is a dedicated team that supports delivery and administration of AVIN programming, and provides the following key functions:

Connect & Coordinate – a focal point to help coordinate among industry, academia, research organizations and governments, and connect interested stakeholders and members of the public;

Opportunity Identification – knowledge translation, research, data/information and trend analysis, acting as a bridge between technology and policy; and,

Awareness & Education – promote AVIN programs and Ontario’s AV testing pilot, build awareness of Ontario’s growing C/AV community.

SME Value PropositionAVIN is vital to SMEs because it enables them to:

• Accelerate their time to market by providing support for product development and commercialization to access global markets

• Access to physical sites that capitalize on technology strengths in regional innovation incubators, accelerators, post-secondary institutions that can be used for the development of new products and solutions as well as to test and validate technologies.

• Access to specialized equipment, hardware and software that reduce barriers to innovation and commercialization

• Access business and technical advisory services to assist in the development and commercialization of technologies.

• Access to vehicle platforms (cars, municipal buses, etc.) to demonstrate technologies to potential customers including OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, transportation authorities, technology companies and infrastructure providers in safe and controlled real-world scenarios

• Access to talent in the form of current students and new graduates from Ontario’s post-secondary institutions
