History
The Technology Policy Branch was created in 1986 within the Policy and Technology Division of the Ontario Ministry of Industry, Trade and Technology. It resulted from a division of the former Planning and Priorities Secretariat into several new branches.
In 1991, the Technology Policy Branch ceased to exist when it and the Industry and Sectoral Policy Branch were restructured into the Industry and Technology Policy Branch and the Sectoral Policy Branch. At that time, both new branches formed part of the Policy and Development Division.

Maintenance notes
Canadiana has this agency as being created in July 1987, from the former Technology Policy, Planning and Coordination Branch. However, this branch was listed in the Fall 1986 Telephone Directory, and there is no evidence anywhere of the other branch's existence.
