We’re proud to spotlight our partnership with the City of Oshawa, the lead organization behind DRIVE: the Durham Region Innovation and Vehicle Ecosystem.

Through this partnership, Brilliant Catalyst works alongside the City of Oshawa to deliver DRIVE, supported by the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN) and powered by the Ontario Centre of Innovation (Ontario Centre of Innovation).

The City of Oshawa plays a key role in facilitating DRIVE’s municipal piloting zones, giving Ontario-based automotive and smart-mobility companies opportunities to test and validate their technologies in real-world environments.

Combined with advanced testing and prototyping facilities, industry expertise, accelerator programming and commercialization support, these opportunities help innovative mobility solutions move from concept to market.

We are excited to work with the City of Oshawa to strengthen Durham Region’s position as a hub for automotive and smart-mobility innovation.
