Centre for Commercialization

The Centre for Commercialization (C4C) helps entrepreneurs and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) unlock the full potential of their intellectual property (IP). C4C offers a full suite of IP services across the entire innovation continuum to help businesses maximize the commercialization outcome for their goods and services. 

The Centre for Commercialization was created, in part, with support from Intellectual Property Ontario (IPON).

It is difficult, and at times, almost impossible, to find appropriate hair, make-up and skincare services nearby. Enter Fabbulist, an online platform that helps melanin women find beauty stylists that truly get their hair type and skin tone

Erin Pickles leans into tech sales
