CARI has 3,400 m² of lab space, 14 research labs, over $34m in lab equipment, and 50 researchers with expertise in a wide variety of areas and disciplines. For over 30 years, CARI has used these resources to perform applied research for industry, helping companies produce new, commercially relevant technology products and applications.
