Mind to Market Award Video
Ontario Centres of Excellence's Discovery 2006 conference took the opportunity
to celebrate innovation success through the Mind To Market Award. Sponsored
by Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Financial Group, the award recognizes outstanding
research collaboration between industry and an academic research team
that has resulted in successful commercialization. It is through such
collaborations that OCE supports the development of leading edge ideas
that drive industrially relevant solutions.
This year's winner was Millenium Biologix Corporation and Queen’s
University. With OCE support, they turned the results of research into
a full slate of products that enable and promote bone repair by the patient’s
own body. They established national and international collaborations
both in research and marketing, and their approach to technology transfer
produced an exemplary connection of university research to wealth creation
in the economy.
Their success has been documented in a video that outlines their collaboration.
