Innovation, Science and Technology

With the rise of the Canadian dollar and global value chains, coupled with the increasing ability of emerging economies to rise up the innovation ladder, the key to global competitiveness for Canadian companies going forward will be to innovate.

Within this ever changing environment, the Trade Commissioner Service can connect you to a network of qualified international contacts, to assist with the commercialization of Canadian innovations abroad, assist for sourcing innovative technologies and partnerships, and financial support through various funding mechanisms in order to increase the Canadian innovation capacity.

Joint research projects Minister Van Loan announced 15 initiatives under the Canada-California Strategic Innovation Partnership. The research projects in science and technology will help move ideas from the laboratory to the real world.
