Through YSpace, York is supporting emerging entrepreneurs in areas such as smart transportation and agri-food. Successful applications to FedDev also provided funds for dedicated programs to support the success of Black- and women-led entrepreneurs. &nbsp;This year, York achieved record levels of externally sponsored research income standing at $120+ million. York remains committed to supporting purposeful research and innovation that is responsive and inclusive. With the Strategic Research Plan underway, and robust plans for the Research Innovation Strategy and Commercialization Framework, York is set to continue its trajectory in making a meaningful impact on the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:120px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group pr24-full-width-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#f6fbfe\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading pr24-section-title has-black-border has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-301301d27bcc38a567c350460fec5ce3\" style=\"color:#e31837\">Research Creation &amp;
