TORONTO, Ont. and Philadelphia, PA – The University of Windsor (UWindsor) has joined the Ontario network of the EnerTech Advanced Mobility Ecosystem (EAME), a partnership created with the purpose of sharing ideas related to innovation, identifying business opportunities, and exploring potential partnerships. The University of Windsor highly values and actively supports research and collaboration with industry, non-profit, government organizations, and community partners. Their world-class researchers collaborate to bring new mobility and related ideas and technologies to the local, national, and global markets.
UWindsor's goal of joining the EAME is to focus on collaborative innovation, economic and workforce development, policies and regulation. Their primary innovation areas are EVs and LEVs, batteries and other energy storage, energy transition, digital technologies, AI and robotics, industry 4.0 solutions, advanced manufacturing, smart mobility, and shared mobility.
"The University of Windsor is thrilled to be a part of EAME program and work with some of the EV and mobility industries’ top innovators in developing future technologies. This partnership will provide great opportunities for UWindsor researchers and students to explore impact-driven research and collaborations,” said Tom Schnekenburger, Director of Research Partnerships at the University of Windsor.
The EAME is a partnership, originally formed in 2019 by EnerTech, Alectra, Linamar, and Western University, has created an enhanced collaborative environment that focuses on advancements in autonomy, electrification and alternative fuels, data and connectivity, smart mobility, and digital manufacturing. The ecosystem has since grown to include key corporations and academic institutions from across Canada and the United States.
“We are excited to have University of Windsor join our expanding ecosystem across North America. The University’s strong focus on mechanical automotive and materials engineering as well as their Center for Automotive Research & Education will provide EnerTech valuable insight and access to world class researchers and partnership opportunities,” said Wally Hunter, Managing Partner at EnerTech Capital.
As a leading firm in the mobility space, EnerTech has assumed a key role in building broad innovation partnerships, specifically working to create improved business engagement between industry leaders and early-stage innovation companies. EnerTech is excited about the momentum that EAME has and looks forward to its continued growth throughout North America.
