"Successful businesses know how important it is to consistently reinvent themselves and their products. Smart companies have discovered the power of partnering with Colleges to accelerate that reinvention. Colleges have made significant investments in their Applied Research Centres to build capacity and commercialization expertise that companies can easily tap into. Getting access to research professors, students with special knowledge and keen work ethic along with unique College grant funds creates a powerful resource for those businesses looking for competitive advantage."

“We’re a small firm, doing cutting-edge development. Our work is very technically challenging and requires a lot of passion and perseverance. The talent at the College has been an enormous asset, especially in this particular game, which had strong development challenges.”

“Our partnership with the College and its students was a new concept to us. We had no idea such resources were available to us in our community. The manufacturing engineering students conducting this project have demonstrated to us that they have the ability to apply what they have learned in their academic studies. We see this project as the first of many applied research projects. In fact, we are currently developing our next project with them.”
