NRC

The National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is the country’s federal research and technology organization, with staff and facilities operating across 24 sites. It works directly with companies through collaborative R&D, technical services, testing and access to research facilities, while partnering with universities and other public organizations on joint research. Its nationwide presence connects companies with technical expertise, validation capabilities and opportunities to license intellectual property. Research is supported primarily through federal funding, alongside revenue from other government departments and industry.
