NRC's New Breeding Ground For Nanotech Innovation

Keith Gilchrist, an NRC business development officer, manages the NINT Innovation Centre. "It serves more than just start-ups and SMEs," he says. "It also welcomes small research teams from multinationals and collaborators. By hosting small and large established companies in the same building as NRC and university researchers, we create a unique environment for innovation." Among the new tenants, IOSIL Energy aims to become a leading producer in the emerging photovoltaic-silicon market by exploiting a lower-cost, granular silicon production technology. Picomole Instruments is developing ultra-sensitive gas analysis technologies for medical, veterinary, occupational health and safety, and environmental applications. . . . http://www.nrc-cnrc.gc.ca/highlights/2008/0801nano_e.html
