What is a CENGN Project

Project Details:

CENGN helps small and medium-sized Canadian technology companies accelerate their commercialization efforts by providing access to secure 5G and advanced networking infrastructure, Living Lab environments, and end-to-end product testing expertise.

Throughout each step of the process, the participating company receives hands-on guidance and support from the CENGN business development, project management, and engineering teams to ensure a successful project with lasting value. The CENGN project is also supported by the CENGN ecosystem, which includes industry-leading information technology companies and operational technology experts at Living Lab facilities.
