Loyalist College and GreenCentre Canada have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to support innovation in sustainable chemistry and advanced materials.
Together, Loyalist College and GreenCentre Canada will establish an integrated services model that will respond to the needs of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a focus on accelerated technology development and reduced commercialization timelines.
This partnership supports Loyalist College’s strategic cluster-based approach to applied research, which enables students and community partners to develop and grow across multiple disciplines. In particular, it will enhance the College’s Bio Economy, Agritech (Food, Pharmaceutical and Natural Products) and Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Mathematics (STEAM) clusters.
By fostering regional growth and entrepreneurship, Loyalist College and GreenCentre Canada will leverage their combined resources, expertise and networks to provide industry clients with a broad spectrum of services and funding opportunities. This partnership will also lead to strengthened business relationships between their respective networks.
