The Rural Innovation Initiative Eastern Ontario (RIIEO), made possible with funding from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev), supports the transition and growth of SMEs (small and medium enterprises), manufacturers and communities into the new rural economy, driving direct investments by private companies in innovation to produce aggregate local and regional effects.

This includes investment in new or next generation equipment, technology, products and processes that lead to business growth, access to new markets, and job creation.
