A National Conversation on Canada’s Innovation Strategy
The CSPC has launched a national conversation on Canada’s long-term innovation strategy to engage industry leaders and experts in discussions on how to reverse Canada’s declining innovation performance.
As part of this critical national initiative, the CSPC will publish a Special Digital Edition of the CSPC Magazine.
Senior executives of industry associations, experts, and thought leaders from the Canadian innovation community, federal/provincial/territorial/municipal governments, innovation networks and academia are invited to submit opinion pieces that explore:
- Emerging trends that are critical for the future of innovation in key industrial sectors
- How an innovation strategy could be designed to adapt to future trends, and
- Priorities for the strategy to ensure long-term success
- Other topics relevant to improving Canada’s innovation performance
The National Conversation on Canada’s Innovation Strategy will focus on (but not be limited to) these key industrial sectors:
- Advanced Manufacturing (chemical, auto, aerospace, plastics, steel, paper and others)
- Agriculture & Agrifood (crop/livestock production, food processing and others)
- Health and Biosciences (pharmaceuticals, medical devices, therapeutics, diagnostics, public health)
- Digital and High Tech industries (ICT, artificial intelligence, quantum technologies and others)
- Natural Resources (mining, forestry, fisheries, oil/gas, renewable energy)
Clean Tech (energy storage & infrastructure, transportation, water/wastewater, chemistry & materials, recycling & waste and others)
Editorials will be published on the CSPC website on a rolling basis, as they are received until September 20, 2024 and then curated in a Special Digital Edition of the CSPC Magazine.
