MITACS Inc.

MITACS brings together academia, industry and the public sector to develop cutting edge mathematical tools vital to our knowledge-based economy. To improve Canada's international competitiveness, our research focuses on five key sectors of the economy: Biomedical & Health; Environment & Natural Resources; Information Processing; Risk & Finance; and Communication, Networks & Security. We work with organizations to identify their challenges, find scientists with the expertise necessary to address these challenges and provide funding towards research and innovative solutions. Out of these collaborations, new technologies emerge and career opportunities arise that keep trained personnel in Canada. And lasting partnerships between academic and industrial researchers create avenues for development in both communities.
