The Centre for Intelligent Manufacturing explores international collaborations in innovation

The Centre for Intelligent Manufacturing (CIM) recently welcomed a visit from several advanced manufacturing innovation incubators based out of the United Kingdom (UK). Jointly coordinated by MaRS Discovery District and Innovate UK, the groups toured CIM's state-of-the-art research labs and equipment at Sheridan’s Davis Campus, learning about the Centre’s role as a future-forward applied research centre in the Canadian manufacturing ecosystem. In addition, the visit explored collaborative opportunities to innovate with Sheridan and other intelligent manufacturing partners in Canada.

A collaborative partner of MaRS, CIM is among several other partners including Toronto Global, George Brown College, and KITE UHN that are contributing supportive engagement and insight to the Mobility Unlimited Hub, an initiative developed by MaRS and Toyota Mobility Foundation to help accelerate the development and adoption of early‑stage personal mobility technologies among start-ups and innovators in the active mobility sector.

MaRS Discovery District is North America’s largest urban innovation hub and provides direct support for startups, builds communities of innovators and accelerates the adoption of high-impact solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Innovate UK is an innovation agency that helps companies in the UK to grow through their development and commercialisation of new products, processes and services.
