The 23rd Annual Research Money Conference Proceedings, written by Tim Lougheed, are now available!
This year's conference centered on fostering bravery, resilience, and commitment among participants to tackle challenges within Canada's innovation ecosystem. Emphasizing the country's robust but expandable industrial base, the event featured interactive feedback grids for idea sharing. Mitch Davies underscored the importance of leveraging hard-won successes in research support, advocating for efforts to strengthen the industrial base, adapt to energy transitions, and realign supply chains. Frédéric Bouchard and Tabatha Bull highlighted the value of rational optimism and the integration of Indigenous economies into broader Canadian systems.
Discussions also focused on setting clear, concrete reverse-engineering goals for Canada's future and adopting a balanced approach to short- and long-term innovation planning. The federal budget's role in R&D and the necessity of collaborative governance were examined, with calls to establish an integrated R&D ecosystem and incentivize private sector investment. Insights from global counterparts underscored the geopolitical benefits of collaboration and the importance of sector-specific policies to drive innovation and economic growth.
