For Town of Tecumseh residents, the impact of a new partnership with the University of Windsor could turn up in familiar places — along the trails they walk, in the services they rely on and in the books stacked on their bedside tables. 

The five-year partnership will create opportunities for University students and researchers to work alongside the Town on local priorities.

Ten University of Windsor researchers are turning their work into ventures as members of the inaugural Innovation Fellowship cohort. 

The fellows aim to bring research-based business ideas to market, from a cybersecurity training program to a low-cost magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device.
