Nanotechnology Research and Development
Nanotechnology research is a development area with innovations in nanometer scale devices. This new area of technology is currently receiving major funding and grants for innovations within the federal government’s SR&ED and IRAP programs.

R&D Support
In addition, the federal and Alberta governments recently sponsored the creation of a $120-million National Institute for Nanotechnology at the University of Alberta, signaling broad support for the field. The facility focuses on nanotechnology research and development - a leading-edge, multidisciplinary science that has profound impacts on applications ranging from health care and optics to computer technology.

Edmonton's capabilities for innovations in nanotech started several years ago when the University of Alberta's researchers received joint funding through the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) and Micralyne Inc. The funding--the Micralyne/NSERC Industrial Research Chair--allowed the University to create MicroFab, a unique nanotechnology research and development lab.

TSGI Experience
TSGI, located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada currently has clients in the field of nanotechnology research and development and has filed SR&ED claims in this field.
