Global Edge

We call this report “Global Edge” to focus attention on the considerable success of WORLDiscoveries Asia — our subsidiary founded only three years ago in Hong Kong, which now has three offices in China. In addition, the Fraunhofer Project Centre at Western’s Advanced Manufacturing Park has brought us new opportunities in Europe and around the globe. Our ambition knows no boundaries. We at WORLDiscoveries are honoured to represent novel, client-focused creations that are developed at Western University, Robarts and Lawson. Our commitment to the success of these advances, and the partners we serve, never wavers.
