Ryerson University

Purpose

Ryerson University plans to build on its current consortium of leading researchers in the area of blockchain technology to support the development of blockchain technology with at least five Canadian SMEs. The BTRC Round 1 will be led by the Blockchain Review Panel (BRP). This panel of experts and IRAP representatives will in turn identify additional Canadian researchers to support SMEs as affiliate members. Through an online application, the BRP and affiliate members will be called upon to work directly with approved SMEs to develop an action plan that includes: a review of their technology and proposed application, potential funding opportunities, potential applied research opportunities and a list of potential partners.
