Focus Graphite is developing one of the most important graphite projects in North America at Lac Knife, Quebec. Focus has already signed a 10-year strategic agreement for up to 40,000 tons per year - 400,000 ton total - of graphite concentrate with a Chinese-based industrial consortium located in the port city of Dalian, Lianing Province, China, one of the most important centers for trade and industry, and home to many of high-tech companies. Grafoid Inc. is Focus Graphite graphene research and development partner, which has been cooperating with a number of companies worldwide to achieve a commercially viable graphene material.
It is not surprising, therefore, that Grafoid will join other Canadian and international , i.e. Thales, a major French aerospace and electronics conglomerate, advanced technology companies in setting up a research facility in Kingston, Ontario, which is the home of Queens University, which runs the Innovation Park. The Park is intended to promote and enhance internationally recognized research programs, and new research in scientific activities that will also benefit from the contribution of doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows. The Park is designed such as to encourage opportunities for collaboration and interdisciplinary initiatives, building support for research and improve the execution of the search for national and international stakeholders and partners at local and global levels. This should ideally lead to securing funding and resources that will increase Grafoid capacity and collaborative support research. Having established a presence at what the Canadian Government describes as a science park, that is by definition a business based on a university property, Grafoid will actually have the opportunity to promote and benefit from academic research and development through partnerships with other industries and academia.
