Precarn Inc. is investing $2.1 million to promote research and development in the environmental and manufacturing sectors.
The Ottawa-based not-for-profit said it is asking companies to respond to a request for proposals for the development or implementation of intelligent systems technologies in areas related to clean tech or manufacturing, particularly automotive parts.
"This program addresses two key sectors applying Precarn's collaborative R&D model, which has proven that strong linkages among private, public and academic organizations are critical to successfully stimulate the growth and competitiveness of an industry segment, foster the use of intelligent systems to transform and build a sustainable industry innovation model, and ultimately keep jobs in Canada," said Precarn CEO Paul Johnston in a statement.
Precarn is offering up to $700,000 for each project.
