Working with CMC Microsystems, Nova Scotia academics and students, industry and businesses will have access to advanced technologies to develop products with custom semiconductor designs. Semiconductor devices are how electronics process, store and receive information.
The hub will focus on microelectronic systems integration for the ocean sector, marine, naval defence, health, agriculture and communications technologies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNova Scotia will support sectors and businesses in designing and building the technology they need to increase productivity,\u201d said Growth and Development Minister Colton LeBlanc. \u201cInvesting in productivity and improving technology helps Nova Scotians earn more money \u2013 that\u2019s why we are making these kinds of investments.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The design hub will support programming, build local expertise, train and retain graduates, and work with the local industry.
Dalhousie received $1,415,250 through the Province\u2019s Community Economic Development Fund, which helps sectors and communities increase economic competitiveness and productivity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
