Advanced Manufacturing Investment Strategy (AMIS)
The $500-million AMIS program provides repayable loans, interest free for up to five years, to encourage companies to invest in leading-edge technologies and processes.
Ontario re-launches new and improved AMIS program
Significant enhancements to the AMIS program are in effect immediately:
- Loan component increased to 30 per cent (previously 10 per cent)
- Reduced thresholds of 50 jobs created/retained or $10 million invested (previously 100 jobs/$25 million)
- Continuous intake of applications (no need to wait for the next call for proposals).
These measures make AMIS more user-friendly, will enable more companies to benefit from the program, and offer greater access to capital at a lower cost.
In most cases, companies will receive a decision within 45 days of submitting a complete application.
