Each application must address at least one of the Priority Areas identified by the Anchor Companies. Projects must include at least one SME from Ontario, one SME from Israel and, for the current call, one partnering multinational enterprise (MNE) from Ontario acting as an Anchor Company (AC). Ontario applicants are also strongly encouraged to collaborate with researchers from publicly-funded post-secondary institutions.
