History
The Domestic Industry Support Branch was established in early 1990 within the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology, and was formed from a merger of the functions of the former Business Development Branch and Investment and Regional Operations Branch.
The new branch briefly formed a part of the Industry and Trade Expansion Division, before being moved to the Industry and Technology Division, in 1991.
The Domestic Industry Support Branch continued to exist until 1993 when the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade replaced the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. The branch had no direct successor.
