The academic sector is a key driver of innovation in the Canadian technology sector. The researchers, facilities, students and capabilities of academia are an important asset for Canadian wireless companies.
Did you know there are various programs available that help to create bridges between industry and academia, connecting the right stakeholders and providing support for collaborative research and development?
While academia may not always be exposed to key market trends that will help guide research and teach students in line with industry needs, this seminar will provide clarity around these important issues. We will explore industry directions, academic capabilities, and support programs for industry-academic relationships.
Featured speakers include senior representatives from leading organizations like Sierra Wireless, Nokia, MITACS, UBC, Emily Carr, FusionPipe and more.
At the end of the event, attendees will have a clear understanding and knowledge of:
• Key industry directions and technical obstacles within the wireless sector
• The capabilities and research strengths of several academic institutions
• The programs that are available through various agencies to help enable industry-academic relationships, and support collaborative research and development
