Ontario Jobs and Prosperity Fund Recipients and Project Details

Ontario's Jobs and Prosperity Fund (JPF) recipient data tracks government funding commitments to businesses for productivity, innovation, and export activities. The dataset includes projects contracted from the fund's 2015 launch onward, along with some legacy projects transitioned into the program. It is published and maintained by the Government of Ontario.

Use Cases

• Map the geographic distribution of funded projects by company location to identify regional investment patterns.
• Track annual funding trends by aggregating commitments per fiscal_year_contract_signed.

Strengths
