University of Prince Edward Island

UPEI is a comprehensive public university in Charlottetown with an applied, partnership‑oriented research culture. Companies engage through a 78,000‑sq‑ft engineering facility built for co‑creation and a client‑focused design‑clinic model, and through the veterinary teaching hospital’s services. The campus links to the provincial health system, including an on‑campus patient medical home and a new Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences Centre for interprofessional training and clinical translation. Research is backed by federal funding from NSERC, CIHR, SSHRC, and the Canada Foundation for Innovation, with regional support from the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency. Research Partnerships and Innovation manages IP, licensing, industry contracts, and startup pathways, and connects partners to Charlottetown’s bioscience park.
