GreenCentre Canada, a new national Centre of Excellence for Commercialization and Research, has launched an interactive website to raise awareness of its mission to transform Green Chemistry discoveries into real world green products and industrial technologies. The Centre was launched last February by PARTEQ Innovations, Queen’s technology transfer office.

"We invite everyone to visit our site and become familiar with how they can get involved or advance the cause of transforming Green Chemistry discoveries into business opportunities," says Executive Director Rui Resendes of PARTEQ.

The Centre brings together Canada's foremost Green Chemistry researchers, industry partners, and commercialization professionals in a common goal of developing cleaner, less energy-intensive alternatives to traditional chemical products and manufacturing processes. Early-stage innovations are developed to meet specific needs and achieve the magnitude of scale required by industry.

Currently located in the Biosciences Complex, the Centre will be moving to Innovation Park at Queen's University, 945 Princess St., in April 2010.
