ACENET
Business Description
ACENET’s mission is to accelerate discovery and innovation in Atlantic Canada by providing supercomputing resources, expertise and training to researchers and industry. We were created through the grassroots organization of a handful of forward thinking researchers. That foundation remains a cornerstone of our culture today. We have grown on the principle that the client’s needs are first and foremost, and we pursue excellence in all endeavours.
We work for a diverse clientele doing every kind of research imaginable - developing lighter aerospace materials, analyzing Shakespeare, engineering ship propellers, mining historical documents, creating green energy alternatives, informing public policy on nutrition, using AI to fight COVID, and many others. Areas as wide-ranging as nanotechnology, social science, advanced manufacturing, artificial intelligence, ocean science, arts and humanities, genomics, and health research increasingly rely on the tools, support and training provided by ACENET and the Digital Research Alliance of Canada (the Alliance). Training delivered by ACENET helps to develop and retain high technology skills in Atlantic Canada, grow our innovation economy and create socio-economic benefits in the region.
