What is a TAC?

In this episode of The Unlikely Innovators, Mike and Steve discuss NSERC's Technology Access Centre (TAC) program, a federally-funded initiative that establishes specialized research hubs affiliated with Colleges and CÉGEP’s across Canada. The guys chat about the value of TACs broadly and dig into the founding of Cambrian’s first TAC, the Centre for Smart Mining. Mike also shares some insights from the tense TAC site evaluation process that Cambrian had to go through in order to get the Centre for Smart Mining off the ground. If you want to see The Office parody video that Mike and Steve referenced for their first Tech-Access Canada meeting, you can watch it here.  If you have a question for the show or want to connect with Cambrian R&D or the Centre for Smart Mining, please drop us a line.
