DESCRIPTION
Canadians already understand that innovation of all kinds is critical to our country’s future prosperity. The competition is fierce, social, political and economic issues are urgent, and the challenges ahead are formidable. Our response will require much more than the contributions of individual innovators and companies, and must include communities, institutions and government. Ilse Treurnicht explored models for collaboration - between silos of specialization, and the cultures of academe, business, and the public sector - as we embark on a shared journey towards a resilient innovation nation.
