That is an excellent question.
In recent years the NRC has established industrial research groups. We do not limit ourselves to Canadian partners, which allows us to go beyond our borders and encourage Canadian, American and international players to come together to work on issues in research and development. Ms. Legros will be able to give you a number of examples later.
The industrial research groups allow us to establish contacts between the players in industry, to determine precise issues, to tackle those issues and find solutions together. That also allows us to create partnerships that will bring products to market. Commercialization is not done in isolation, but through partnerships.
