Mount Saint Vincent University (the Mount)’s mission is to be a model of creative teaching and research that nurtures socially responsible global citizens.

The Industry Liaison Office (ILO) facilitates research relationships between faculty members and government departments, private companies industrial associations, and international agencies. The ILO is the initial point of contact for faculty members and external parties wishing to develop research relationships, collaborations and contracts, and for the transfer of technology and knowledge arising from the research activities at Mount Saint Vincent University.

The ILO fosters and supports joint research initiatives, assists faculty in research contract development, intellectual property protection, and private sector sponsorship. We also establish collaborations between researchers and external partners and license technologies to industry.

Mount Saint Vincent University is a member of Springboard Atlantic, a regional commercialization and industry liaison network.
