The Alberta Centre for Advanced MNT Products (ACAMP) is the new Open Innovation Centre for Microsystems and Nanotechnology Enabled New Products and Industrial Applications.
With multi-million dollar initial public investment announced by the Government of the Province of Alberta in May 2007 as part of its Alberta Nano Strategy, ACAMP is dedicated to building a world class capability that will grow to make Alberta a world-leading locale for the assembly and packaging of Micro-Nano-Technologies (MNT) enabled devices and development of new commercial products and industrial applications.
The Centre and its services will be accessible to Alberta researchers, start-up companies and established companies. Its focus will be on applying technologies to innovating products and new industrial applications where Alberta has either a strategic lead or opportunity or where these will be beneficial to key sectors such as life sciences, energy, and ICT. This it will do in collaboration with provincial, national and international supplier and value chain partners and networks. Core platform technologies include: MEMS, optics, RF-instrumentation, microfluidics and biosensors.
ACAMP is currently seeking international industrial partners and project collaborators.
a team to identify commercial market opportunities worldwide and promote Edmonton and Alberta capabilities regionally, nationally and internationally.
assistance for entrepreneurs and companies to help improve commercial product development processes and to deliver critical services such as product design to a variety of external customers, in collaboration and co-operation with other organizations and agencies, as appropriate.
a mix of facilities and engineering support to provide access to the key technologies to convert MNT-enabled die into commercial products. This is to be implemented by a team of experts working closely with NanoFab at the University of Alberta, the University of Calgary’s Advanced Microsystems Integration Facility, the National Institute for Nanotechnology (NINT), and the Microsystems Technology Research Initiative. ACAMP will enhance access to equipment and process routes for commercial projects by investing in equipment, cleanrooms and further resources to establish an MNT device packaging centre.
