CCGE has always maintained a tight integration with the academic environment at the University of New Brunswick. Our clients often require unique solutions to difficult problems. The long history and strong relationships between CCGE and other top researchers is represents a level of expertise that is virtually unmatched at any other company or academic institution.

When not actively pursuing solutions for clients, CCGE-sponsored graduate students and researchers are constantly seeking answers to the question: "How can this be done better?"

Results of cutting-edge research immediately find their way into our products and services. There is no wait for the "trickle-down" effect - when a new method or innovation is found, it is implemented.
