High performance paddles represent one of the niche markets of the sports industry. Presently, this market is dominated by a sole manufacturer whose products have not underwent dramatic changes in more than several decades. To improve the quality of the end product and establish Ontario as one of the world's players in this market, Rocky River Paddles - an Ontario-based company - plans to collaborate with Western University and Fraunhofer Project Center in order to identify a manufacturing avenue capable to generate double sided, Class A surface, lightweight composite paddles involving unique material recipes to be processed by means of high-volume technologies. If successful, this fabrication avenue could open up a new spectrum of collaboration activities between the involved organizations to be then followed by beneficial downstream effects for the entire Canadian manufacturing sector.

高性能球拍代表了体育产业的利基市场之一。目前，这个市场被一家制造商所垄断，其产品几十年来没有发生太大的变化。为了提高最终产品的质量，并使安大略省成为这个市场的世界参与者之一，Rocky River paddle公司——一家总部位于安大略省的公司——计划与西部大学和弗劳恩霍夫项目中心合作，以确定一条能够生产双面、a类表面、轻质复合桨的制造途径，其中包括独特的材料配方，并通过大批量技术进行加工。如果成功，这条制造途径可以在相关组织之间开辟新的合作活动范围，然后对整个加拿大制造业产生有益的下游影响。
