OCAD (Ontario College of Art and Design) received funding through a Federal grant undertake research towards the commercialisation of research projects in collaboration with private sector partners. Media Lab Toronto is fortunate to be one of the dozen partner companies selected.

OCADU’s President, Sara Diamond, described the project thus:

OCADU is a proud incubator of student innovation and commercially viable faculty research. We have demonstrable links to the SME sector. By bringing this talent together with the help of FedDev Ontario, we are fostering the creation of innovative products and services in the fields of mobile, health, environmental and digital technologies.

The exact shape of the research is still evolving. But I’m confident it will bring interesting results.
