Technology with a practical purpose.
For NAMIR, innovation matters when it helps a person, advances knowledge or improves how a community works. Our programme priorities include applied science, digital tools and accessible solutions to real needs.
Programmes
Three areas of shared progress.
People’s potential, knowledge and the places where they live are connected. NAMIR develops programmes that link opportunities for individuals with the long-term capacity of communities.
Veterans and their families.
Education, career opportunities, entrepreneurship and community participation. We develop partnership approaches that reflect veterans’ experience and the needs of their families.
Science, education and reskilling.
Knowledge that makes a practical difference. We connect learning, applied research, new skills and technology with the needs of people, employers and communities.
Communities and accessible infrastructure.
Spaces and services that people with different needs can use. We develop partnership approaches to accessibility, local resilience and infrastructure development.
More about this area: Communities and accessible infrastructure.
How we measure progress.
We look at what has changed for a person or community: skills gained, new career opportunities, barriers removed or a solution that continues to work. Indicators and results are defined in the context of each programme.
