      History

      The Office of Co-Ordination and Development of Technology Centres was established in 1982 when the Ministry of Industry and Trade was first established. That year, the following crown corporations were created: the Ontario Centre for Microelectronics, the Ontario Centre for Advanced Manufacturing - CAD/CAM, the Ontario Centre for Advanced Manufacturing - Robotics, the Ontario Centre for Automotive Parts Technology, the Ontario Centre for Resource Machinery, and the Ontario Centre for Farm Machinery and Food Processing Technology.

      In early 1985, the office was replaced with the Innovation and Technology Division. The new division was responsible for the six technology centres, as well as the IDEA Corporation, and the Ontario Research Foundation.
