NRC’s - Industry Partnership Facilities (IPF’s)
• Past– Co-Location until 1998– 2 Facilities (IPF’s) constructed in 1998
• Montreal at BRI – 70,000 sq. ft.• Ottawa at IMS & IIT – 35,000 sq. ft.
• Today– 15 New facilities (IPF’s) recently built or under construction– 1 Expansion (Montreal 30,000 sq.ft. to be completed shortly)– 1 Expansion under consideration (Ottawa 35,000 sq.ft.)
• Future– All 20 Institutes are to have Industry Partnership Facilities
(IPF’s), with little or no co-location

NRC - Industry Partnership Facilitiesare primarily Technology Incubators…but…
NRC - Industry Partnership FacilitiesTechnology and Business Incubators
• Facilities that aid the early-stage growth of technology-based companies by providing
• Technology – Access to Space (Offices and Labs)– Access to facilities (Researchers and Equipment)– Shared services– Tenant entry and exit criteria
• Business– All of the above plus…– Mentoring and networking– Young Entrepreneurs Program (New)– Business consulting assistance– Plus plus plus
The basic concept is toMeet your client’s needs
And…Success will generally follow
INCUBATION…is a business
