Sarnia-Lambton is historically known for their petrochemical industry. In recent years, there has been a strong**and concentrated effort to diversify the industry in the region utilizing the existing capacity and expertise in a**few areas including Biotechnology and Information Technology and Communication (ITC). As part of this**effort, Sarnia-Lambton is strategically positioning itself to build, support and attract ITC start-ups and Small**and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) to the region to form "Sarnia-Lambton Digital Technology and IT**Cluster". Many regional or newly attracted companies are SMEs lacking R&D capabilities. Lambton College as**an only local post-secondary institution is establishing a suite of comprehensive applied research and**development service points that will form the "Information Technology and Communication Research Centre**(ITCRC)". The ITCRC's goal is to support the ITC industry with applied research and technological**development by providing research facilities and expertise through students and faculty. Lambton College**through ITCRC will collaborate with industrial partners to conduct applied research, technology development,**testing, prototyping, and commercialization in various areas including: software development, database**management, smart computing, artificial intelligence algorithms, big data, android and iOS native applications,**virtual reality, responsive web applications, parallel & distributed computing, and e-business. ITCRC has**initially attracted eight projects in partnership with industry and will also benefit from close partnerships with**local organizations including Sarnia-Lambton Economic Partnership and Sarnia Lambton Research Park to**develop more projects, bring new and improved technologies to market and consequently generate economic**impact in our community and beyond. ITCRC will also provide an excellent opportunity to educate highly**qualified personnel and enhance 17 IT related programs at the College. The ITCRC initiative will stimulate**economic development through technology transfer to the partners and will allow the Sarnia-Lambton region to**exploit the ITC-industry market.

萨尼亚-兰姆顿历史上以其石化工业而闻名。近年来，该地区利用生物技术、信息技术和通信 (ITC) 等少数领域的现有能力和专业知识，大力推动产业多元化。作为这项努力的一部分，萨尼亚-兰姆顿正在战略性地定位自己，以建设、支持和吸引 ITC 初创企业和中小企业 (SME) 到该地区，形成“萨尼亚-兰姆顿数字技术和 IT** 集群”。许多区域性或新引进的企业都是缺乏研发能力的中小企业。莱姆顿学院作为**一所本地专上院校，正在建立一系列综合应用研究和**开发服务点，这些服务点将形成“信息技术与通信研究中心**（ITCRC）”。 ITCRC 的目标是通过学生和教师提供研究设施和专业知识，通过应用研究和技术**开发来支持 ITC 行业。兰姆顿学院**将通过ITCRC与工业合作伙伴合作，在各个领域进行应用研究、技术开发、**测试、原型设计和商业化，包括：软件开发、数据库**管理、智能计算、人工智能算法、大数据、Android和iOS本机应用程序、**虚拟现实、响应式网络应用程序、并行和分布式计算以及电子商务。 ITCRC 最初吸引了八个与行业合作的项目，并将受益于与萨尼亚-兰姆顿经济合作伙伴关系和萨尼亚兰姆顿研究园等当地组织的密切合作，以**开发更多项目，将新的和改进的技术推向市场，从而在我们的社区内外产生经济**影响。 ITCRC 还将提供绝佳的机会来培养高素质人才并加强学院 17 个 IT 相关项目。 ITCRC 计划将通过向合作伙伴转让技术来刺激**经济发展，并使萨尼亚-兰姆顿地区能够**开发 ITC 行业市场。
