TMMC donates $2.1 million to U Waterloo to drive Additive Manufacturing research and engineering education

Monday, December 9, 2019

Toyota Canada helps drive innovation forward with its largest single donation to a Canadian university.  They will launch a unique undergraduate engineering innovation challenge and support a variety of student, research and outreach initiatives.  In recognition of TMMC’s financial support, a wing on the third floor of the university’s Engineering 7 building which is dedicated to faculty and student research in Additive Manufacturing, will be renamed the Toyota Additive Manufacturing Wing. The funding will also enable the Toyota Engineering Innovation Challenge which will involve a half-day “take-over” of the Waterloo Engineering Ideas Clinic®.  Additionally, TMMC will be the title sponsor of the university’s annual AutoTech Symposium for the next five years. The annual one-day event, now called the UWaterloo Autotech Symposium, presented by Toyota, brings together automotive and information technology innovators, connecting decision-makers across the converging auto and IT landscape.  Click Here for the full story.
