The Prairie Polytechnic Innovation Network Accelerating Commercialization for Local Ecosystems (P2INACLE) will receive just under $900K from PrairiesCan. P2INACLE is led by Saskatchewan Polytechnic and involves the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, Northwestern Polytechnic, Red Deer Polytechnic, Red River College Polytech, and the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology. With this funding, the network will engage with the International Minerals Innovation Institute on a pilot project to create a collaborative network that will fund and work on applied research projects. “This funding will enable P2INACLE to address mining industry issues swiftly and efficiently, providing access to a wide range of experts and quickly distributing funds,” said Sask Polytech President Dr Larry Rosia.
