Report | The Future of Innovation in Canada
Innovation drives the economy and our society.
It is the force that grows the nation and drives it forward, but great ideas are not enough in themselves. Canada is looking at an increasingly competitive global landscape and a whole slew of new sectors that have to be built from the ground up. On top of that, the age-old challenge of commercialization that has long plagued Canadian entrepreneurship continues to pose difficulties.
In this report, we explore Canada’s potential as a nation of innovation and will be speaking to experts in all kinds of innovation: social, tech, environment and more. We explore the challenges that hold us back, the opportunities that beckon us and what Canada must do now to cement its position as a global, competitive leader in innovation.
