PARTEQ Innovations will move its offices from Biosciences Complex to Innovation Park, the hub of Kingston’s innovation ecosystem, on Sept. 8.  

“We are pleased to be contributing to the strategic objectives set out by Queen’s related to creating a cluster of innovation related entities in a single location,” says Jim Banting, President and CEO of PARTEQ Innovations.  “We look forward to co-locating with other innovation related entities at Innovation Park to continue PARTEQ’s mission of commercializing technologies from Queen’s and partner institutions.” 

PARTEQ will remain focused on building and maintaining strong relationships with Queen’s researchers following the move to Innovation Park. Greater collaboration with the Queen’s Industry Partnerships group located at Innovation Park will align and enhance the services available to faculty seeking commercialization and industry opportunities.

“PARTEQ has an important role in the innovation landscape,” says Dr. Steven Liss, Vice-Principal (Research) and Chair of the PARTEQ Board of Directors. “This re-location will allow to them to continue their strong history of supporting faculty commercialization opportunities while linking them to the services available at Innovation Park.”

Innovation Park, located at 945 Princess St., is the hub for the Kingston innovation ecosystem. It is home to numerous regional and community organizations including Kingston Economic Development Corporation (KEDCO) and Launch Lab, which is a member of the Ontario Network of Excellence hub that supports innovation in Eastern Ontario.
