Faculty of Business and IT Research

A message from the Dean

The Faculty of Business and Information Technology (FBIT) at Ontario Tech University is where we create the future of technology-enabled business. As the first and only Faculty of Business and IT University in Canada, we are uniquely positioned—where information technology is fully integrated into every aspect of business education.

Through engaging and diverse learning experiences, we enrich the skills of today’s leaders and cultivate the leaders of tomorrow.

Our world-class research in Business Analytics and IT, Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Resilient Systems, Entrepreneurship, and Virtual Reality and Immersive Media empowers us to transform practical inventions into impactful innovations—driving the development of the leading-edge businesses of the future.

By combining experiential learning with leading research, we generate value for business, society, and the environment, all while staying true to our core principle: creating and deploying Tech with a Conscience.

Anchored in Durham Region, we are ideally positioned to serve businesses across the Greater Toronto Area. Founded with strong community support, our mission has always been to bring industry-relevant learning and world-class research to a region once defined by its automotive past. What we’ve achieved in just two decades has exceeded expectations—and we’re just getting started.

Now, following our first 20 formative years, we are launching a bold new campaign to elevate FBIT’s leadership on the provincial, national, and international stage. We invite our Ridgeback business community to join us and support this next chapter as part of Ontario Tech’s broader Tech with a Conscience campaign.
