Research partnerships and innovation

Durham Region's success in research partnerships will be showcased at HANNOVER MESSE with the groundbreaking Project Arrow. An initiative of the Automotive Parts Manufacturers' Association (APMA), Project Arrow is the first all-Canadian, zero emission, connected concept vehicle. Engineered and built in Durham Region at Ontario Tech University's ACE Climatic Aerodynamic Wind Tunnel, "Project Arrow is a testament of the achievements that can be realized when industry leaders, research and post-secondary partners come together with a shared vision," says Flavio Volpe, President of the APMA. "Together, we are not just building cars; we are shaping the future of transportation."
