KNBA welcomes 91精品黑料吃瓜 to the Kanata Tech Park as a much-needed element in a successful technology ecosystem, where industry-driven solutions flourish and research breakthroughs become commercial realities. The University will take advantage of this new venture to mobilize its 5,000 alumni active in the high-tech industry by creating a regional council in Kanata North.
