Panel Abstract:
Retaining science-driven startups is vital for Canada’s innovation and economic growth. Despite Canada’s robust research institutions, many startups are acquired by foreign companies and investors, jeopardising Canada’s long-term economic prosperity. The Chief Science Advisor’s Youth Council is assembling a panel of entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and policymakers to explore a broad range of concrete strategies to retain startups within Canada, including financial incentives, enhancing access to venture capital, and fostering the growth of anchor companies within Canada’s startup ecosystem. Join us to delve into actionable insights aimed at nurturing Canada’s startup landscape and securing its enduring success for future generations.
