If you have an idea for a product and require design and prototyping services please select an IPD from the “Our IPD’s” page on this website and contact them directly.
The mandate of the Fortin Discovery Lab is to facilitate the development of products to be manufactured in Canada. If you are a graduate engineer/technologist with an idea and a desire to start your own company manufacturing in Canada we may be able to help. Through a resident agreement you may receive access to a modern design, prototyping and certification facility that will become your factory for the duration of the start-up phase of your venture.

If you are an engineer/technologist and would like to work independently in the lab to develop your own product please contact Lab Director Tom Fortin via email at tf@ontrak.net.
