NRC offers companies the chance to co-locate at world-class NRC research space located across the country. Known as Industry Partnership Facilities (IPFs), these facilities offer unique services to innovative technology-driven companies.

IPF residents have an unmatched opportunity to access in one place outstanding research facilities, research expertise and services offered by the NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program and the NRC Canada Institute for Scientific Information. Locating at an NRC facility also provides access to all-important networking opportunities at both the international and national level.

Co-locating at NRC is about much more than real-estate, or routine "business" services, such as photocopying, IT support and free parking. Companies incubating at NRC are more than just tenants; in a number of cases they pursue research collaborations with NRC. Co-location creates a stable environment in which to grow but, most importantly, it creates access.

IPFs play a major role in NRC research facilities help develop vibrant technology clusters in different communities.
