Red River College Polytechnic will expand its applied research capacity thanks to a $3.3M investment from Prairies Economic Development Canada. The investment will be used to establish the Innovation Garage, a space where academic researchers and industry partners will work on heavy equipment and vehicle (HEV) research and development. The project will establish a space for applied industrial-scale collaborative research and HEV development, a microgrid lab, and a hydrogen and fuel cell lab. It will also support RRC Polytech’s Clean Technology and Advanced Manufacturing program. “[T]his investment provides the technology, expertise, and collaborative space needed to innovate quickly and efficiently,” said RRC Polytech President Fred Meier.
