About this event
ABOUT ENCQOR 5G​
As the world races towards ubiquitous 5G access, the Governments of Canada, Ontario and 
Quebec have partnered with some of the world’s leading tech corporations to create the 
Evolution of Networked Services through a Corridor in Quebec and Ontario for Research and 
Innovation program (ENCQOR 5G). This program is delivered by Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) in Ontario. 
 
Housed at MaRS in Toronto with other locations across Ontario (Invest Ottawa & Communitech - 
Waterloo) and Quebec, the ENCQOR testbed is Canada’s first open access, pre-commercial 5G 
infrastructure. It allows small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and academia to 
develop and demonstrate new products and services in a collaborative environment. Among 
many benefits, eligible SMEs receive: 
 
●up to $50,000 in funding for new product demonstration projects; 
●collaboration opportunities with corporate partners; 
●physical workspace at MaRS; and 
●connections to prospective talent (post-secondary and post-graduate students)
