The DMAP – Digital Modernization and Adoption Plan – program supports Ontario SMEs to invest in new technology or optimize their existing technology.

Through this program, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) work with a Digital Adoption Advisor such as 180 Systems to generate a DMAP Plan tailored specifically to their organization’s digital needs.

Under this funding stream, eligible Canadian SMEs can gain access to accredited digital advisors and receive a grant up to $165,000 to select and implement technology.

This program is administered through the Ontario Centre for Innovation (OCI).
