Research Money has been reporting for more than two decades on organizations and individuals involved in Canada’s knowledge-based economy and the policies and programs that affect them. Our annual conference has been bringing together diverse stakeholders from this community, here and abroad, to share their experiences and tackle some of the economic and social challenges around science, technology, and innovation.
After three years of a global pandemic and three successful virtual conferences, we’re bringing people together in person again. The opportunity to interact informally with colleagues from different communities and sectors is one of the tremendous benefits of meeting face-to-face. Yet, our experience running three virtual events highlighted an important element that in person meetings do not share: the enhanced inclusivity of participants and speakers from across Canada and internationally.
So we have come up with an innovative approach that incorporates the positive benefits of in-person and virtual events. As an extension of the April conference, we will offer a follow-on R$ webinar series for six months from May to November 2023. This series will extend the conversation beyond the April event and engage a wider audience than is possible with an in-person event in one location and on a specific date. There will be no additional charge to attend the webinars, but registration will be required. The webinars will cover topics related to the theme of the conference. In some cases they will continue deeper discussions of topics covered in April. In other cases they will cover topics not explicitly covered in April.
April is the starting point for this journey. As in all our past events, we will analyze the implications of the new federal budget for the science, technology and innovation community. In addition, with the new Canadian Innovation Corporation (CIC) just coming on stream, we’ll take a deep dive into innovation policy and practice and how they relate to industrial policy.
As a country with a small domestic market, our entrepreneurs need to think globally. What niches can they dominate globally and supply value to the world? What areas of policy are critical to helping make this happen? How can we train and mobilize our extraordinary research talent to help make this happen? Can Canada finally figure out a way to establish, grow, and sustain large domestic firms that are global leaders in a particular industry?
