Local Success Story WIN (Waterloo Institute of Nanotechnology)
• GGI supported WIN’s nanotechnology missions to Japan in 2009 and 2010, and to Israel in 2010.
• GGI supported a 2008 mission to India establish a research partnership with counterparts, and supported a follow-up mission there in 2010.
– Quote from WIN: » The outcomes of the [GGI-funded] Israel trip (Nov 2010) were
some of the most tangible to date: 3 research collaborations, 1 Material Transfer Agreement, 1 economic partnership, and a commitment to a reciprocal research and investment visit to Waterloo in the Spring by the leaders of the top nanotechnology institutes in Israel.
» Similar to the GGI funded trips to Japan and India, the Israel trip will form the foundation for many collaborations, investments and S&T Policy considerations to come.
