A Key Announcement from Ottawa
• SCA is a part, a highly successful part, of a CECR.
• CECR is a Centre of Excellence for COMMERCIALISATION
and Research.
• 11 CECRS funded 4 years ago
• BIOINDUSTRIAL CENTRE [BIC] was one, with $15 million
invested by Ottawa.
• BIC has two partners, SCA and the Research Park/WU.
• SCA had $ 7.5 million
• So what is the fuss about the announcement?

Centres and supporting those with potential to
remain sustainable after the CECR grant funding.
Sustainability:

CECR Program Criteria
– Benefits to Canada
– Track Record and Potential of the Applicants
– Strength of the Business Plan
Centres requesting additional funds will be assessed on
the three criteria. However, to receive additional
funding – the Strength of the Business Plan will
depend on the right partners
