Supporting industry-academic collaborations in Quebec and Ontario
Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) and Prompt Inc., in partnership with the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC), are launching a $3-million program that aims to develop innovative new technologies, products and services in cybersecurity. These projects are intended to support and provide solutions to advance Canada’s cybersecurity strategy, which seeks to secure government systems and protect citizens, companies and key infrastructure underlying our economy.
On Wednesday, April 6 we will host a Partnering Forum at the Ottawa Conference and Event Centre. This will provide you with the opportunity to learn more about the program, hear from keynote speakers, participate in B2B networking sessions as well as network with potential industry or academic partners from both Quebec and Ontario.
