Ford has announced it will create a $338-million innovation centre in Ottawa to develop new automotive technologies.
The operation is expected to create almost 300 news jobs.
The centre will be developing the next generation of automobiles, including driverless cars.
Ford will be working closely with Blackberry-owned QNX Systems, an Ottawa-based firm that is a world leader in vehicle software.
It's part of a $500-million package announced by the company Thursday.
The federal and Ontario governments will be chipping about $100-million each in conditional grants.
