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.

Sarnia-Lambton是安大略第三大制造业，其石化和炼油集群的经济产出为240亿美元。这一集群是许多专门从事制造、工程和环境服务的中小企业的主要来源。最近制造业项目的减少和停滞帮助社区制定了几项举措，并通过经济多样化、建立创新公司和建立包括“生物混合与化学”和“可持续能源”集群在内的产业集群来解决这一问题。许多现有产业、支持性中小企业和新吸引的公司要么没有研发能力，要么研发能力有限，阻碍了它们获得和改造新技术，而这些新技术对于在当地和全球市场保持竞争力至关重要。2013年，蓝水技术中心（BTAC）作为先进制造中心成立，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接入点，成功地与262家公司（242家中小企业）合作，提供了334项技术服务，64个应用研究项目和25个培训合同。BTAC已经成为当地创新体系的关键部分，BTAC的更新对于我们持续支持区域产业以及将BTAC推向可持续发展状态至关重要。BTAC大大帮助工业增加收入来源，开发新市场，出口商品，创造新的就业机会，培训高技能工人，提高竞争力。
