CKTB announced on June 17 that a federal grant of $1.75 million will support Niagara College’s Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (WAMIC).

The article includes quotes from President Sean Kennedy and Marc Nantel, Vice-President, Research, Innovation and Strategic Enterprises:

“This renewal ensures that our student research assistants, who work alongside our experts and industry partners, will continue to access and participate in trailblazing research and development at Niagara College – an opportunity that provides unparalleled career-ready advantages,” said Kennedy.

“This is exciting news, as it allows us to further our delivery of high-quality services to area SMEs, in order to enhance their global competitiveness,” said Nantel. “We are able to better serve the innovation needs of these companies who may have had difficulty developing new products and services for lack of affordable research expertise, equipment, and facilities.”
