Brock University

Brock University is a comprehensive public institution serving the Niagara region of Ontario, combining research, experiential education, and community engagement. Industry partners access co‑located collaboration space and prototyping resources in the campus innovation hub, while a mature co‑op program connects R&D teams with job‑ready talent. Its location near the U.S. border places companies within the cross‑border Great Lakes manufacturing and logistics corridor and alongside the region’s established grape‑and‑wine ecosystem. Research is supported by competitive funding from Canada’s Tri‑Agency councils and provincial programs, alongside industry partnerships. A dedicated technology transfer office guides IP strategy, licensing, and startup formation, providing clear paths from sponsored research to market.
