Huawei plans to invest up to $303 million in new 5G-related research initiatives in Ontario over the next five years
Huawei and the Government of Ontario announced a partnership called "5G Ontario," which is a major research and development project that promises to secure hundreds of new jobs in the Province of Ontario.
Announced during Premier Kathleen Wynne’s visit to Huawei’s Canadian headquarters in Markham today, 5G Ontario will see the government invest up to $16 million through the Jobs and Prosperity Fund (JPF) to support Huawei’s initial $212 million investment. The initiative will create 250 new R&D jobs in the province, while maintaining 250 existing R&D jobs. The partnership builds on an agreement Premier Kathleen Wynne announced with Huawei in Beijing during her first trade mission to China in 2014.
