Modernizing productivity with advanced manufacturing
Private industry is partnering with labs funded by the Canada Foundation for Innovation to transform the manufacturing sector to Canada’s advantage.
Gone are the factory floors of decades past: researchers in Canada are developing breakthrough advanced manufacturing technologies that automate critical processes and modernize production capabilities. And they are partnering with companies to deploy and scale these technologies, all while upskilling their workforces and fortifying the resilience of Canadian manufacturing in an increasingly uncertain global landscape.
From labs to factories: 3D printers, nanofabrication facilities and real-time simulation laboratories all help create the resilient manufacturing networks our country needs.
