Ontario's Lieutenant Governor visits Xerox Research Centre of Canada's innovation hub

TORONTO, May 4, 2018 /CNW/ - Ontario's Lieutenant Governor, the Honourable Elizabeth Dowdeswell, today visited the Xerox Research Centre of Canada's (XRCC) thriving open innovation hub, which is helping Canadian start-ups accelerate development and commercialization of their advanced materials manufacturing breakthroughs. The XRCC enables start-ups to use seed funding to focus on developing their technologies instead of spending it on capital expenses, to help push the boundaries of advanced materials manufacturing in Canada.
