Dear Supercluster Members, Associates and Community,
The Digital Technology Supercluster is proud to support Canada’s Plan to Mobilize Industry to Fight COVID-19 through our COVID-19 Program.

- The COVID-19 Program will invest up to $60 million in projects that will:
- support the health and safety of Canadians
