Meet and collaborate with Canadian companies (a Cambridge Network event)

Canadian companies visiting Cambridge on 28th November - part of a cross-European matchmaking mission to find collaborative partners - would like to meet potential industrial partners from several sectors.

Thirteen innovative Canadian SMEs from Alberta will participate in the symposium on Wednesday 28th November to meet potential R&D partners based in the UK. The German-Canadian Centre for Innovation and Research (GCCIR), as well as Innovate UK, will present the funding programmes available for UK and Albertan partners to fund the joint technology development projects.

Cambridge Network is helping to arrange the half-day matchmaking symposium, which will be held at the Møller Centre in Cambridge.  It will include:

  • presentations on the workings of the Alberta-Europe Technology Collaboration Fund, presentations on doing business in the various jurisdictions
  • a keynote speech or presentation on a relevant innovation-related topic.
  • presentation on Innovate UK funding opportunites by Brendan Vickers, Partnership Manager for North America.
  • Lots of time for participants to continue with negotiations and discussions with the prospective partners that they have met. 

The event includes morning coffee and a networking lunch. 

Cambridge Network has detailed profiles of the visiting Canadian companies, which include information about each company and what they are looking for in terms of a collaboration partner.

If you would like to explore the possibility of meeting one or more of the companies please get in touch with Louise Rushworth who will send you the relevant company profile(s) and a pro-forma to complete to express your interest in a meeting.

Selected UK companies will then be invited to attend the symposium on November 28th in Cambridge.
