The Honourable Shawn Skinner, Minister of Innovation,
Trade and Rural Development, will speak at Virtual
Marine Technology�s (VMT) graduation from the Genesis
Centre tomorrow (Wednesday, October 7) at 6:00 p.m. in
the Inco Innovation Centre Lecture Theatre at Memorial
University in St. John�s.
VMT develops simulators for survival craft, first
response craft and high-speed navigation training. VMT�s
simulators combine visual realism with high-fidelity
vessel performance to deliver a safe, focused learning
environment.
The Genesis Centre is a support network for
technology-based ventures that have high growth
potential, and are seeking business guidance and
capital. Instead of a company learning through its own
mistakes, the Genesis Centre offers a wealth of
resources that increase the company�s likelihood, rate
and degree of success.
