We build relationships and host informative events, ensuring that we’re in tune with Ontario’s researchers, educators, and innovators. Understanding their needs and desires allows us to effectively advocate on their behalf.

This commitment drives ORION to focus heavily on community outreach and stakeholder relations. As a result, we participate in on-going Ontario government engagement and calls for consultations.

At ORION, we recognize there are many provincial and national cybersecurity initiatives underway, and we’re working together collaboratively. Our annual report on the state of cybersecurity in higher education represents input from many of our research, education, and innovation community partners as well as our constituents.
