Red River College Polytechnic is the recipient of a $3.2M investment from Prairies Economic Development Canada designed to support the defence industry. Using this funding, RRC Polytech will create the Manitoba Defence and Dual-Use Innovation Bridge in collaboration with Manitoba Aerospace Inc and Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters. The initiative will provide supports to businesses to ease their entrance into defence supply chains and to help them identify dual-use technology. “Together we are strengthening Manitoba’s role in Canada’s defence industrial base while creating new opportunities for businesses, investments and economic growth throughout the province,” concluded RRC Polytech VP Research Partnerships & Innovation Dr Jolen Galaugher.
