03-03-2009: PARTEQ Innovations, the technology commercialization office of Queen's University, has been awarded $9.1 million from the federal government towards the establishment of a National Centre of Excellence for the development and commercialization of Green Chemistry technologies.
The first entity of its kind in North America, GreenCentre Canada will bring together Canada's leading Green Chemistry researchers, industry partners, and commercialization professionals with a common goal to develop cleaner, less energy-intensive solutions for traditional chemical and manufacturing processes.
The centre, to be located at Innovation Park at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, will provide expertise in technology development, intellectual property protection, business development, marketing and financial management, complemented with state-of-the-art facilities and expertise for product development, scale-up manufacturing and testing of early stage discoveries.
GreenCentre Canada is funded under the national Centres of Excellence for Commercialization and Research (CECR) program to bring promising research-based innovations to market. Industry partners will play an active role in the centre in helping to find, assess and develop Green Chemistry innovations. The centre has strong representation from Canadian and foreign companies across the chemical value chain. Current industry investment in the centre totals $3 million.
