International Science and Technology Partnerships Canada Inc. today announced $17 million in research and development funding to support three Montreal-based projects involving Canadian and Indian companies.

 

Beneficiaries include CAE Inc., Pratt & Whitney Canada Corp. and McGill University, according to an announcement today by Foreign Affairs Ministers David Emerson.

 

The three projects include the application of biofuels for aviation, the design and development of a new generation of regional transport aircraft and an improved system for storing dangerous materials in aboveground tanks.

 

"Our government understands the importance of establishing international research partners and the critical role science and technology plays in the new economy," said Emerson.

 

"These joint projects will enhance the collaboration between our scientists and commercialize their discoveries."
