It's been more than 20 years since SAIT started working alongside industry partners to find solutions to challenges here's what we've done and what's to come
We're celebrating 20 years of SAIT's Applied Research and Innovation Services (ARIS) Hub.
Back in 2005, SAIT's Innovation and Technology Development Office was a single-room operation with just two staff. Fuelled by coffee and dial-up internet, they'd been working with industry partners on applied research and product innovation since the late 1990s.
How did we arrive at the fully formed ARIS Hub, in the top five of Research Infosource Inc.'s Top 50 Research Colleges (in 2025, we proudly ranked fourth for the second year in a row), with more than 100 dedicated experts engaging in projects with students and hundreds of industry partners? The story involves government funding, industry support, beehives and bobsleds.
