This MOU builds on a collaborative research relationship entered into between Trent and Trouvé in November 2022 designed to leverage the University’s expertise in fields such as chemistry, biomaterials, and materials sciences. The collaboration on clean technology innovations aims to take advantage of the faculty expertise and facilities at Trent to advance green innovations for electric vehicles.
“We are excited to welcome Trouvé to the Cleantech Commons community of clean, green and low-carbon innovators and entrepreneurs,” says Martin Yuill, executive director of Cleantech Commons.
“We believe that academic and entrepreneurial collaboration is fundamental to driving the discovery of new sustainable solutions and we look forward to the possibilities with Trouvé as they bring their innovative technologies to the market.”
Trouvé’s plans for future tenancy at Cleantech Commons include a LEED-certified pilot facility using forward-thinking sustainable architectural practices with an advanced manufacturing pilot production space, a product demonstration zone, research and development laboratories, and a community hub designed to serve multiple stakeholders in the advancement of a net-zero future for the automotive industry.
“Perhaps our biggest reason for choosing Cleantech Commons is the link with Trent University and its excellent research team, with whom we plan close collaboration,” says Faruk K. Rama, chairman of Trouvé.
“Our facility will benefit from access to their talented graduates and post-doctoral fellows, plus, who can resist establishing a base in this naturally beautiful location and its proximity to the Greater Toronto Area?”
Trouvé is currently finalizing a round of investment, part of which will finance the construction of its future facilities at Cleantech Commons.
