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.

萨尼亚-兰姆顿 (Sarnia-Lambton) 是安大略省第三大制造业，石化和炼油集群的经济产出达 240 亿加元。该集群一直是许多专门从事制造、工程和环境服务的中小企业成立的主要来源。最近制造业项目的衰退和停滞帮助社区制定了多项举措，并通过经济多元化、建立创新型公司以及建立包括“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个问题。许多现有行业、支持性中小企业和新吸引的公司要么不具备研发能力，要么研发能力有限，这阻碍了它们获取和采用新技术，而这些新技术对于在本地和全球市场上保持竞争力至关重要。 2013年，蓝水技术中心（BTAC）成立，作为先进制造中心，为上述企业集群提供应用研究、技术服务和培训。 BTAC 一直是研发和创新支持的接入点，已成功与 262 家公司（242 家中小企业）合作，提供 334 项技术服务、64 个应用研究项目和 25 个培训合同。 BTAC已成为当地创新体系的重要组成部分，BTAC的更新对于我们持续支持区域产业、推动BTAC走向可持续发展具有极其重要的意义。 BTAC 极大地帮助行业增加收入来源、开发新市场、出口货物、创造新就业机会、培训高技能工人并增强竞争力。
