Academia and industry join forces to drive innovation
About the partnership
The most successful technology ecosystems around the world are defined by the close integration of industry and universities. Located within Canada’s largest cluster of innovative companies, the uOttawa-Kanata North campus is an ideal environment to provide talent, learning and solutions to Kanata North companies. It also enables uOttawa researchers to observe shifts in technology trends faster, thereby accelerating research breakthroughs and innovation.
Through its CO-OP program and associated available funding, uOttawa can provide dedicated support to businesses in the Kanata North Tech Park, including small business recipients of the KNBA COVID-19 Business Resilience Fund. Through this partnership, Kanata North company leaders and business owners can access career-ready students, at minimal to no investment, who can support them in transitioning into more robust business environments, including digital transformation.
