Maria Edison – Strengthening International Canadian Trade Relations for Sourcing and Innovating Critical Technology and Advanced Manufacturing Processes through Market Research

The intern will conduct a multidisciplinary market research project on international critical technology and advanced manufacturing techniques, with the goal of identifying viable strategic partnerships for Canada. They will create documents, presentations, and brochures for various technologies to spread awareness of commercial opportunities and encourage sector growth in Canada. In partnership with the Cansbridge Fellowship (partner organization) and Dr. Brent McKnight (academic supervisor), they will identify viable strategic partnerships for Canada by considering commercial needs and alignment with Canadian policy goals. The academic supervisor will provide a breadth of knowledge on strategy and strategic partnerships, while the partner organization will provide mentorship and a global alumni network to support multidisciplinary research across industries. The direct benefit to the partner organization is achieving their mission of promoting global collaboration and attracting Canada’s global-minded youth to the program. This will be achieved through additional social media marketing and making the market research accessible to all.
