BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS
CPI believes that building partnerships is founded on creating a community of like-minded individuals that unites industry and academia. Our partnerships are focused on building well-organized collaborative processes that address the challenges that are faced by the private sector, thereby developing our partnerships into long-standing relationships. These productive collaborations not only help to strengthen and enlarge R&D capabilities in businesses worldwide, but also develop entrepreneurial competencies in research facilitated by knowledge and skills transfer. Organizations can realize the benefits of innovative research, gain access to top talent in the field of cybersecurity and privacy, and leverage resources and funding through the generous support of CPI’s ecosystem partners (NCC, NSERC, Mitacs, OCI, etc.).
