Support for Canadian Research STEMCELL Technologies is a big supporter of the Canadian Stem Cell Foundation , according to Eaves . The Foundation has recently asked the federal government to make available $ 500 million for stem cell research over the next 10 years , and this would be matched by $ 500 million from The Canadian Health Charities and another $ 500 million from Canadian Industry . Projecting its growth forward , STEMCELL Technologies will be providing roughly $ 350 million of this match from Industry .
“ STEMCELL Technologies as a smaller company , has already invested over $ 70 million in research over the last 20 years ” said Eaves .
