The three major German Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) including the Volkswagen Group, BMW and Mercedes-Benz are actively seeking new technology from start-up innovators and have launched tech innovation scouting platforms. The German OEM groups and top Tier 1 suppliers increasingly recognize Canada as a source of deep tech innovation.
