Since its inception, Ontario Genomics has: * Raised more than $1 billion for genomics research in Ontario and directly supported 7300 R&D jobs * Secured over $375M federal Genome Canada funds, $103M provincial (Ministry of Research Innovation and Science) co-funding, and $180M direct industry investments for Ontario genomics research programs. * Brought 16 genomics companies to the “investor-ready” stage and helped secure $197M follow on funding. These companies created 289 private sector jobs and generated $56.3M in revenue.External links
