Manufacturing is the largest sector contributing to Niagara Regions gross domestic product (GDP), in excess**of $2.14 billion in 2012; 16% of the regions GDP is derived through the output of manufacturers.**Approximately 1 out of 9 Niagara workers makes his/her living in the manufacturing sector; its share of the**regional labour force is a close third only to retail trade and healthcare. There are close to 1,000**manufacturing companies in the Niagara Region, and they need to innovate to grow. In order to help Niagara**manufacturers stay strong and thrive in competitive emerging global markets, Niagara College is proposing**to expand -- in partnership with local industry, economic development agencies, the Government of Ontario,**and NSERC -- the Industry Innovation Centre at Niagara, or IIC@N ("I can"). At IIC@N, companies access**an array of state-of-the-art equipment, expertise and services to support process improvement, product**innovation and commercialization. Demand for Niagara Colleges services in advanced manufacturing and**successful projects have come from local companies manufacturing products including sports garments,**fishing lures, biotechnology tests and pre-fabricated insulated home panels. IIC@N is an integral and key**part of the Niagara Region innovation ecosystem, and its team of faculty, students and staff from the**Technology and Business programs currently offers two axes of services: Manufacturing Technology**Solutions and Manufacturing Commercialization Solutions, both of them requested by our local**manufacturers. IIC@N is the only regional entity to address both these crucial industry needs.

制造业是尼亚加拉地区国内生产总值 (GDP) 贡献最大的部门，2012 年超过**21.4 亿美元；该地区 16% 的 GDP 来自制造商的产出。**大约九分之一的尼亚加拉工人以制造业为生；它在**地区劳动力中所占的份额仅次于零售贸易和医疗保健行业，紧随其后。尼亚加拉地区有近 1,000 家**制造公司，它们需要创新才能发展。为了帮助尼亚加拉**制造商保持强大并在竞争激烈的新兴全球市场中蓬勃发展，尼亚加拉学院提议**与当地行业、经济发展机构、安大略省政府**和 NSERC 合作，扩大尼亚加拉行业创新中心，或 IIC@N（“我能”）。在 IIC@N，公司可以获得**一系列最先进的设备、专业知识和服务，以支持流程改进、产品**创新和商业化。对尼亚加拉学院先进制造服务和**成功项目的需求来自当地生产运动服装、**鱼饵、生物技术测试和预制隔热家居板等产品的公司。 IIC@N 是尼亚加拉地区创新生态系统不可或缺的关键**部分，其来自**技术和商业项目的教职员工、学生和工作人员团队目前提供两个服务轴：制造技术**解决方案和制造商业化解决方案，这两项服务都是我们当地**制造商所要求的。 IIC@N 是唯一能够满足这两个关键行业需求的区域实体。
