The Last Word – from our clients

  • “This program is very important and integral in allowing Canadian companies an
    opportunity to respond quickly to an opportunity that could potentially grow a
    Canadian company significantly, thus leading to economic benefits for
    Ontario and Canada. Without programs like this, it would be hard for a small
    biotech company like PlantForm to reach out and have face to face meetings
    with companies from around the world, as often our resources are
    limited.” 

    David Cayea – PlantForm Corporation

  • “The program was excellent. It made it possible for us to make an important step
    forward in developing the technology, which would not have been possible without
    this program.”

    Les Petroczi – Guelph Junction Railway Limited

  • “High level of satisfaction, provided us with the opportunity to grow both
    our current major software, while also providing valuable service to a current
    software user and receiving input on our new software that we could not
    obtain from beef farmers near our office” 

    Jasper Munro – Ag-Sight

  • “This program catalyzed us into action. So far, this program has been of immense
    value as a motivator to get out and meet strategically important organizations
    who may become partners or who will buy our products”

    Tim Nelson – Be Seen Be Safe

  • “As co-founder of a
    small but growing agricultural technology company, I have come to
    value OAFT immensely… OAFT has been instrumental in providing
    introductions to key players, and access to expertise, and we were given the
    opportunity early on, to present our ideas at an OAFT semi-annual meeting. In
    this way, OAFT has played a key role in helping us to become part of the Ontario
    agricultural community”
