Eight tech companies based in Ontario and Saskatchewan are receiving a collective $4.4 million in funding and loans from the federal government through its regional development agencies (RDA).
One company that received an investment through FedDev Ontario is Mycionics, which has developed a robotic harvesting system for mushroom growing facilities.
Mycionics is receiving a $975,000 loan from FedDev Ontario, which will be used to implement its technology in two southern Ontario mushroom operations, and to test and develop the robotic harvesting system for industrial-scale use, and ready it for commercialization and export.
