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.
With a new innovation and investment agency just coming on stream, we’re taking a deep dive into innovation policy and practice. Canada is a rich country with a highly educated population. Our natural resources endowments represent about 6% of the world’s natural resources. Our human capital amounts to less than half a percent. How are we going to mobilize our relatively small number of people to find new ways of tackling domestic and world problems and generate economic growth in doing so? Innovation is the key to this challenge.
We’ll look at the issues through three lenses. Understanding innovation, Doing innovation and Supporting innovation. We’ll approach each topic with an overarching question.

Day One:Understanding InnovationQuestion: What exactly is innovation and what is it not? Dan Breznitz will lead off the discussion, followed by Dave Watters and the Global Advantage team who will analyze federal Budget 2023 and whether and how it addresses innovation policy specifically. Expert panels will compare how policy makers and companies measure innovation success, the role of research in innovation, and how international collaboration will drive innovation in an increasingly disrupted world. |
Day Two:Doing
|
Day Three:Supporting InnovationQuestion: What policy supports do innovative companies need? Expert panels will examine how the federal government's new innovation initiatives are being integrated with existing policies and programs, the role of provincial governments in delivering innovation policy, the role of municipalities and communities in stimulating innovation, and the role of foreign multinationals in local innovation ecosystems. |
