The state Alberta will be the centre of nanotechnology research with the participation of various sate government agencies and other nanotechnology institutes and groups.
The Hitachi Electron Microscopy Product Development Centre (HEMiC) at the National Institute of Nanotechnology (NINT) have made the project successful by collaborating the project with a number of other partners including University of Alberta, National Research Council and Alberta Inguinity Funds nano work program and Hitachi High Technology.
Out of the $14m investment, $7m will be used for purchasing latest electron microscopes including Hitachi’s environmental transmission electron microscope.  Half of the amount of the investment will come jointly through the help of WEPA and the remaining half will be funded jointly by the public and private consortium.
These new facilities at Alberta will enhance the image of Alberta or especially the University of Alberta nationally and internationally as a nanotechnology research institute and in future the University can and help dramatically in the field of nanotechnology.
