Manitoba: Committed to Fostering Excellence in ICT Research

Overview of Research & Development Programs and Resources

Research and development (R&D) programs and incentives help researchers to discover knowledge, expertise and technologies that will have direct benefits to society. Manitoba is proud of the accomplishments and the strong reputation the ICT research community has achieved and wishes to continue the tradition of providing a wealth of programs that grow the ICT research community and its multitude of capabilities.

Coupled with Manitoba's strategic geographical location and our skilled and growing ICT workforce, research support provides the additional edge for R&D intensive operations in today's global economy.
