Innovation in Niagara got a shot in the arm from the province Tuesday.
It was announced that the Niagara Interactive Media Generator (nGen), a hub for digital interactive media projects and business development in St. Catharines and Niagara, has been selected to join the Ontario Network of Excellence (ONE).
As one of 14 regional innovation centres in Ontario -- the first of its kind in the region -- it will be a place where entrepreneurs and researchers can tap into expertise from across the province to help bring their ideas to the marketplace. The centres are part of a provincial strategy to make innovation a driving force in the Ontario economy and create opportunities for economic growth and jobs.
Minister of Research and Innovation Glen Murray joined St. Catharines MPP Jim Bradley and nGen's executive director Jeff Chesebrough at nGen's St. Paul St. location to make the announcement.
