Where business and science meet
At TRIUMF Innovations, we focus on the business of science. As the commercialization arm of TRIUMF, Canada’s particle accelerator centre, we are dedicated to linking cutting-edge science and technology to tangible business opportunities. TRIUMF Innovations acts as a connector to the business world by providing market opportunities for applied physics-based technologies that emerge from the TRIUMF network – by streamlining access to TRIUMF’s world-class expertise and infrastructure, and by connecting TRIUMF researchers and technologies to the world via industry partnerships, licensing, and business development.
To date, TRIUMF Innovations has helped five spin off companies successfully go to market, with more are in the pipeline. TRIUMF Innovations helps TRIUMF startups navigate complex intellectual property management, assisting with patent filings, invention disclosures, fundraising, partnering and investment.
Irradiation Testing Services
Since 1995, TRIUMF has built up several beamlines that provide low-intensity, energetic proton and neutron beams to simulate radiation exposures either in space or terrestrial environments. Even at low intensity, several minutes of exposure in these beams can simulate years of operation in space, air, or ground, effectively allowing users to perform accelerated testing of electronics.
TRIUMF Innovations is the liaison between TRIUMF’s research facilities and commercial partners accessing irradiation services. We act as a first point of contact for new partners, and we are responsible for managing intellectual property and negotiating the agreements required for short- and long-term partnerships.
