Welcome to the Industry Canada website.
This site will keep you up to date on what Industry Canada is doing to position Canada as a frontrunner in the 21st century economy. Through a wide range of programs, products and services, Industry Canada and its many partners are helping to improve the climate for economic growth and job creation by strengthening Canada's science and technology focus, assessing Government of Canada support for research and development, increasing the commercialization of university research, improving access to early-stage financing, supporting small business access to markets, promoting both leading-edge technologies and the development of value-added industries, and building and maintaining consumer confidence.
In the Media Room, you will find the most current information on departmental activities. You can browse through news releases, speeches, photos, and upcoming events. You will also find media relations contacts, links to webcasts and multimedia, and the option to subscribe to receive e-mail updates.
The department section offers information on the department structure and mandate, the locations of regional offices, acts, the telephone directory for departmental employees, expenditure review, and the Management Accountability Framework. You will also find biographies, contact information for senior officials, a history of departmental ministers and milestones.
If you are an entrepreneur looking for business resources, be sure to visit Strategis or Canada Business, Canada's most comprehensive business websites. I would encourage consumers to visit the Canadian Consumer Information Gateway.
I hope you find Industry Canada's website interesting and informative.
