Growing Living Labs CENGN is actively expanding its Living Lab ecosystem with partnerships in advanced manufacturing, smart buildings, and 5G capabilities, presenting opportunities to position a broad set of network innovation services to manufacturers, property developers, and enterprise customers seeking testbeds and accelerated validation.

Strategic Partnerships Recent collaborations with Ericsson and CNIMI, along with a Morguard smart building initiative, indicate a focus on joint solutions for telecom and infrastructure, opening doors to co-sell managed services, network modernization projects, and digital twin driven deployments.

5G Advanced Capabilities The launch of Indoor Advanced Positioning within the 5G Living Lab demonstrates a niche capability that can be offered to enterprise and campus environments, enabling location-based services, asset tracking, and enhanced user experiences for customers in logistics, manufacturing, and facilities management.

Funding & Growth Readiness With a funding pool and revenue in the low to mid millions, CENGN is positioned to scale pilot programs and accelerators for Canadian digital transformation initiatives, appealing to government, academia, and enterprise buyers seeking cost-effective R&D partnerships.

Market Positioning As Canada’s Centre of Excellence in Next Generation Networks, CENGN is well-placed to offer end-to-end services from testing to commercialization, making it a compelling partner for organizations aiming to de-risk network modernization, cloud-adjacent projects, and secure digital infrastructure outcomes.
