The Gryphon's LAAIR: Leading to Accelerated Adoption of Innovative Research You are invited to attend the public presentation of the Gryphons' LAAIR Finale at the University of Guelph. This program is supported by funding from the OMAFRA - UofG Partnership and Growing Forward 2. Funding aims to accelerate the commercialization and adoption of new products and services originating from innovative research and technology produced at the University of Guelph to improve the competitiveness of the Ontario Agri-food and rural economy. Eight teams will be delivering compelling presentations to persuade the Gryphons (experts from industry) to fund their project with up to $125K to remove barriers that will subsequently promote the use and commercialization of innovative UofG research by the agricultural industry of Ontario.
