NRCC
The National Research Council of Canada is the primary national research and technology organization of the government of Canada in science and technology research and development. It is governed by a council of appointees drawn from its client community. The NRC’s intent is to shorten the gap between early stage research and development and commercialization. The NRC partners with Canadian industry to take research from the lab to the marketplace. It is uniquely placed to partner with Canadian industry to invest in strategic R&D programming that will address critical issues for the future. Each year, its scientists, engineers, and business experts work closely with thousands of Canadian firms, helping them bring new technologies to market to support Canadian businesses.
