Grant: Applied Research and Development Grants - Level 1
Lambton College of Applied Arts and Technology
$25,000.00
Community Marketplace Project
FY 2015-16
Summary
The goal of this project is to develop a unique e-commerce system for the low-inventory buying and selling
typical in small municipal marketplaces. This project is being supported by Electro-Byte Technologies
(EBTech) and Lambton College to research and develop solutions for the kinds of problems present in
low-volume marketplaces, like a small-town classifieds page.
EBTech will benefit greatly by having a running sample of the research products, specifically: a by-product of
this research will be a newly developed Sarnia Classifieds Page, allowing the community of Sarnia-Lambton
better access to local buyers and sellers. In addition to the Sarnia Classifieds page, the research products will be
portable, allowing EBTech to expand their business offering to provide marketplaces to other small
communities, creating job opportunities in Sarnia, and commercial opportunities across Canada.
