Ontario Creates’ new IP (Intellectual Property) Fund will launch in January 2025. The IP Fund is intended to drive economic growth in Ontario’s screen sectors by investing in activities that support the production and exploitation of innovative, high-quality, consumer-focused content. The IP Fund will combine the current Film Fund and Interactive Digital Media (IDM) Fund – Concept Definition and Production programs into a single, integrated program that supports screen-based content creation by Ontario companies.

Details regarding the new IP Fund will be posted on the IP Fund page.
