The Southern Ontario Network for Advanced Manufacturing Innovation (SONAMI) is an established and highly functioning network of eight post-secondary institutions designed to support small- and medium- sized enterprises in the manufacturing sector across southern Ontario. SONAMI's mission is to create a one-stop shop, providing these businesses with access to faculty, students, equipment and facilities to help them innovate and create new products and processes. SONAMI has conducted an analysis of its current impact and the broader state of advanced manufacturing in southern Ontario. Through this work, including an extensive third-party industry survey, interviews with economic development offices, industry partners and industry associations, SONAMI has identified four strategic sectors for targeted growth. Additional inputs for the selected sectors include current manufacturing strengths of the region, forecasted need, transferrable technology and skills, as well as a recognition of our SONAMI members' current strengths and future growth plans. These sectors - transportation, energy systems, medical devices, and food processing - have been identified for targeted growth of the network's capacity and activities. The Applied Research and Technology Partnership Grant (ARTP) will allow SONAMI to invest in these four strategic sectors and deepen the network's role contributing to the innovation ecosystem for southern Ontario's advanced manufacturing. All the projects' objectives are designed to result in new products, processes, and services, commercialized or adopted by the SMEs. Through the ARTP Grant SONAMI will conduct at least 42 applied research projects with industry partners in the four targeted sectors. These 42 projects will be assessed through a triple lens of sustainability, growth, and profitability, to best support the economic recovery for SMEs. ARTP SONAMI projects will need to both fit within a targeted sector as well as align to the following three criteria: 1) Sustainability: Projects will focus on achieving environmental and clean-technology solutions for SMEs.2) Profitability: Projects will support the need to increase profitability with process and supply-chain optimization and enhancing solutions for SMEs that have pivoted to made-in-Canada solutions. 3) Growth: Projects will build capabilities and knowledge around supporting employment and developing commercialized products to open local and global markets for SMEs.

安大略省南部高级制造创新网络（SONAMI）是一个建立且功能强大的网络，由八个专上机构组成，旨在支持安大略省南部制造业的中小型企业。 Sonami的使命是创建一站式商店，为这些企业提供教师，学生，设备和设施的访问，以帮助他们创新并创建新产品和流程。 Sonami已经对安大略省南部的当前影响和更广泛的高级制造状态进行了分析。通过这项工作，包括广泛的第三方行业调查，对经济发展办公室，行业合作伙伴和行业协会的访谈，Sonami已经确定了四个战略部门以实现目标增长。选定部门的其他投入包括该地区的当前制造优势，预测的需求，可转让的技术和技能，以及对我们SONAMI成员当前的优势和未来增长计划的认可。这些部门（运输，能源系统，医疗设备和食品加工）已被确定为针对网络能力和活动的目标增长。应用研究和技术合作伙伴赠款（ARTP）将使Sonami能够投资这四个战略领域，并加深该网络的作用，从而为南安大略省南部的高级制造业有助于创新生态系统。所有项目的目标旨在导致中小企业商业化或采用的新产品，流程和服务。通过Artp Grant Sonami将与四个目标领域的行业合作伙伴至少进行42个应用研究项目。这42个项目将通过可持续性，增长和盈利能力的三个镜头进行评估，以最好地支持中小型企业的经济复苏。 ARTP SONAMI projects will need to both fit within a targeted sector as well as align to the following three criteria: 1) Sustainability: Projects will focus on achieving environmental and clean-technology solutions for SMEs.2) Profitability: Projects will support the need to increase profitability with process and supply-chain optimization and enhancing solutions for SMEs that have pivoted to made-in-Canada solutions. 3）增长：项目将建立围绕支持就业和开发商业化产品的能力和知识，以打开中小型企业的本地和全球市场。
