Sarnia-Lambton is the third largest manufacturing sector in Ontario with $24 billion economic output from its petrochemical and refining cluster. This cluster has been the major source behind the establishment of many SMEs specializing in fabrication, engineering and environmental services. A recent decline and stagnation in manufacturing projects helped the community to build several initiatives and address this problem by economic diversification, building innovative companies, and establishment of industry clusters including the "Biohybrid & Chemistry" and "Sustainable Energy" Clusters. Many of existing industries, the supporting SMEs and new attracted companies either do not have or have limited R&D capacity, hindering them from accessing and adapting new technologies that are imperative to remaining competitive in the local and global market. In 2013, Bluewater Technology Centre (BTAC) was established as an Advanced Manufacturing Centre to provide applied research, technical services and training to the above-mentioned cluster of companies. BTAC has been the access point for R&D and innovation support and has successfully engaged 262 companies (242 SMEs) providing 334 technical services, 64 applied research projects, and 25 training contracts. BTAC has become the critical part of the local innovation system and the renewal of BTAC will be extremely important for our continuous support of regional industries and also moving BTAC to a sustainable condition. BTAC significantly helps industry to increase their revenue streams, develop new markets, export goods, create new jobs, train highly skilled workers, and ehance their competitiveness.

萨尼亚·兰布顿（Sarnia-Lambton）是安大略省第三大制造业，其石化和精炼群的经济产量为240亿美元。该集群一直是建立许多专门制造，工程和环境服务的许多中小企业的主要来源。最近在制造项目中的下降和停滞，帮助社区建立了几项倡议，并通过经济多元化，建立创新的公司以及建立包括“生物杂交与化学”在内的行业集群和“可持续能源”群集来解决这一问题。许多现有行业，支持中小企业和新的吸引公司的研发能力没有或具有有限的研发能力，这阻碍了他们访问和调整新技术，这对于在本地和全球市场保持竞争力至关重要。 2013年，Bluewater技术中心（BTAC）作为高级制造中心成立，为上述公司集群提供应用研究，技术服务和培训。 BTAC一直是研发和创新支持的访问点，并成功与262家公司（242个中小型企业）合作，提供了334家技术服务，64个应用研究项目和25份培训合同。 BTAC已成为当地创新系统的关键部分，BTAC的续签对于我们对区域行业的持续支持以及将BTAC转移到可持续状态非常重要。 BTAC极大地帮助行业增加了收入来源，开发新市场，出口商品，创造新的就业机会，培训高技能的工人并赋予他们的竞争力。
