Canada opens nanotech center with commercial focus in Edmonton

October 1, 2007 — Canada’s National Institute for Nanotechnology has officially opened its NINT Innovation Centre to help Canadian companies exploit the potential of nanotechnology and to foster the growth of an Edmonton, Alberta-area cluster of companies that use nanotechnology.

The Centre rents space to start-up and existing companies and to industrial collaborators that will benefit from the close proximity to the high concentration of nanotechnology expertise at NINT and across the University of Alberta campus.

“This facility positions Alberta’s nanotech industries for success in the global marketplace by providing them with a competitive advantage in commercializing new technologies and products,” said Rahim Jaffer, Member of Parliament for Edmonton- Strathcona.
