After considering multiple jurisdictions, Canadian Nuclear Laboratories (CNL) selected New Brunswick to establish its National Innovation Centre. This will help the company significantly expand its cybersecurity research capabilities.

CNL will invest more than $3 million in equipment and security for its new Knowledge Park facility. It will also add 24 employees to its Fredericton office over five years. The company is seeking highly skilled employees from a variety of disciplines, including computer science, systems engineering, applied physics and mathematics.

This new facility will be conducting research and development to address the current and future challenges facing process-control systems in critical infrastructure.
