Titled “Niagara’s secret superpower in manufacturing,” the Financial Post newspaper carried a story on Dec. 2, 2019, that highlighted Niagara College’s Research & Innovation division.
The article listed several reasons Niagara has been “one of Canada’s most robust industrial communities for more than 100 years, and one of the most desirable places to locate a manufacturing company.” It lists access to international markets; its large group of small- and medium-sized manufacturing firms; a collaborative manufacturing community through the Niagara Industrial Association (NIA) and its hub for applied industrial research, “thanks in large part to the Walker Advanced Manufacturing Innovation Centre (WAMIC)” at Niagara College.
Students and faculty at WAMIC work together to develop new products and processes for industrial clients in Niagara and across Ontario, developing a new generation of highly-skilled workers and developing real-world solutions for established companies, said Gordon Maretzki, Centre Manager at WAMIC.
The sponsored story, through the Niagara Region Economic Development, appeared in the Financial Post and will also run in upcoming issues of the Toronto Sun and National Post newspapers.
