Manitoba's Six Point Action Plan
The Manitoba government, in consultation with various communities and stake-holders, has identified six specific areas that require action.

We have responded by creating a six-point action plan.

These six actions are the foundation upon which Manitoba's Innovation Framework is built and are critical to its continuing success:

  1. Action #1: Develop a skilled workforce that meets the needs of an ever-changing economy
    - Skilled Workforce and Guiding Strategies
    - Additional Practices

  2. Action #2: Strategically invest in research that builds on Manitoba's economic strengths

  3. Action #3: Strategically invest in technology commercialization activities that develop and attract opportunities

  4. Action #4: Connect communities to ensure that all Manitobans have the opportunity to participate in innovation activities

  5. Action #5: Strengthen the environment for business innovation opportunities

  6. Action #6: Foster a service philosophy and spirit in government that is citizen-driven, innovative and results oriented

This plan is designed to assist the government in meeting our targets. It will help us overcome existing challenges and make the most of potential opportunities to build the capacity for innovation in Manitoba.  The potential for innovative development in our province is limitless. With the creation of this Innovation Framework, the provincial government is poised to tap that potential to its fullest.
