“In the extremely competitive 5G landscape, it’s crucial that we tap into the best researchers and develop young talent in strategic areas,” said Pelletier. “Mitacs puts us in touch with highly qualified individuals who match the research profile we’re looking for.”
Eric Bosco, the chief business development officer for Mitacs, said the organization’s role in the partnership is mostly focused on research.
“Mitacs is an integral part of research and development teams — we understand where our partners’ pain points are and help them identify which part of their research roadmap is conducive to partnering with academia,” explained Bosco.
He further added that once Mitacs secures a match between an intern and a project, they continue to manage the placement to ensure everything is running well between the company and the researcher.
