In this episode of Drivetime, Jacqui is joined by Mona Eghanian, Deputy Head of the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (VIN), to unpack how the province is turning big ideas into commercially viable technologies – and why innovation doesn’t stop at the vehicle itself.
Ontario has quietly become one of the most important places in the world for automotive and mobility innovation – and VIN is at the centre of it. From bridging the infamous “valley of death” between R&D and commercialisation, to creating real‑world testbeds across highways, borders and transit systems, Mona explains how VIN is helping startups, researchers and OEMs work together to build the car — and mobility system — of the future.
This conversation spans EVs, AI, charging infrastructure, talent development, global partnerships and public transport, offering a rare look behind the scenes of a government‑backed innovation model that’s already delivering real economic impact.
Drivetime is the global auto tech podcast powered by Keyloop.
