Innovation leaders
Canada's Innovation Strategy cites the commercialization of knowledge in the private sector as a priority and specifically pledge to encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to adopt and develop leading-edge innovations.
To help promote these themes and priorities, the National Research Council of Canada (NRC) is celebrating the successes of innovative Canadian firms that work with the NRC Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC-IRAP),Canada's premier innovation assistance program for small and medium-sized Canadian enterprises (SMEs).
These firms are being honoured by NRC as "Canadian Innovation Leaders".
In recognizing these firms, NRC highlights innovation successes that:
- will lead to wealth creation for Canada
- add value to government investments,
- develop talented people,
- build partnerships - national and international
- and demonstrably increase a firm's innovation capacity.
