The Office of Research invites you to attend a presentation by the Ontario Centres of Excellence (OCE) on their funding programs.
The presentation outlining programs and opportunities available through OCE will take place Oct. 2 from 10 a.m. to 11 a.m. in the University Centre UC 103.
OCE drives the development of Ontario’s economy by helping create new jobs, products, services, technologies and businesses. OCE’s comprehensive program suite covers almost all stages of business development and career advancement. In partnership with industry, OCE co-invests to commercialize innovation originating in the province’s publicly funded colleges, universities and research hospitals.
OCE supports and invests in early-stage projects, where the probability of commercial success and potential total return on innovation are substantial. Another expanding focus for OCE is the development of the next generation of innovators through entrepreneurship fellowships and programs for students and youth across Ontario. OCE’s efforts are focused on sectors of the economy with the greatest potential to drive Ontario’s future prosperity and global competitiveness: energy and environment (including water); advanced manufacturing; advanced health technologies; and information, communications technologies and digital media.
Planning to attend? Please RSVP to Patti Minakis (pminakis@uoguelph.ca) by Sept. 22, 2014.
