      History

      The Industry and Technology Division within the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology was created in 1991. Although it absorbed the Domestic Industry Support Branch of the former Industry and Trade Expansion Division, it had no immediate predecessor. It also received the Small Business Branch (formerly reporting to the Deputy Minister, and re- named Small Business Ontario) and the Ontario Technology Fund, which was a new body.

      In 1992, a restructuring of the division occurred, when the Domestic and Small Business Operations Branch and the Municipal Economic Development Branch were created. In the next year, however, the division ceased to exist when the new Ministry of Economic Development and Trade was created. The functions of the division were divided among several divisions in the new ministry, including the Technology and Communications Division.
