Just in time for Christmas, more hand-wringing about Canada’s innovation gap. A new report from think tank the C.D. Howe Institute does more than gripe, though. Author Daniel Schwanen recommends that the country take an integrated approach to encouraging innovation. His four pillars include more emphasis on research and educational excellence, bringing in policies that foster entrepreneurship and delivering public services in innovative ways.
The BCBusiness editorial team lives for big ideas, bold entrepreneurs and the business stories that make B.C. tick.
