Become A Partner
Pipeline Integrity Institute developed in partnership with the sector with partnerships comprising:
- Industry
- Provincial and National Government
- Associations
In addition, the partnership model means that each partner’s investment is significantly multiplied by the other partner investment contributions. The contributions that are allocated to applied research initiatives have an added benefit of being applicable to SR&ED tax credit and opportunity to apply for matching NSERC CRD. When all taken into account each industry dollar results in $15 to $45 in research and graduate training.
