What does CITO mean in TECHNOLOGY

CITO stands for Communications and Information Technology Ontario. It is a provincial program that provides access to resources, training and funding for the digital technology sector in the province of Ontario.

The main benefits of CITO are increased access to resources, training and funding which promote digital technology innovation in Ontario, as well as boosting economic growth across all sectors. Furthermore, CITO ensures that these resources are made available to all Ontarians regardless of experience or background.

Companies, organizations and individuals who develop digital technologies throughout the province of Ontario can take advantage of what CITO has to offer. All Ontarians - regardless of their level of experience or background - are eligible to receive resources, training and funding through this program.

Interested applicants must submit an application which must include a description of the project including timelines and cost breakdowns. Organizations must also provide evidence that they have sufficient capacity to undertake such a project before any funds will be granted.

Applications are typically reviewed within 2-3 weeks but depending on the complexity or scope may take longer than this timeframe. Decisions regarding whether an application meets eligibility criteria will be made by an internal review committee following an assessment period including evaluations from technical staff based on criteria established in advance by CITO.
