  RAPPORT SU R LA MISE EN ŒUVRE DE L'ARTICLE  66:2 
DE L'ACCORD SUR LES ADPIC  
CANADA  
Addendum  
La communication ci -après, datée du 14 octobre 2016 et adressée par la délégation du Canada, 
est distribuée conformément au paragraphe 1 de la Décision sur la mise en œuvre de l'article 66:2 
de l'Accord sur les ADPIC (IP/C/28).  
 
_______________  
 
 
1  INTRODUCTION  
1.  L'article 66:2 de l'Accord sur les aspects des droits de propriété intellectuelle qui touchent au 
commerce (ADPIC) dispose ce qui suit : "[L]es pays développés Memb res offriront des incitations 
aux entreprises et institutions sur leur territoire afin de promouvoir et d'encourager le transfert de 
technologie vers les pays les moins avancés Membres pour leur permettre de se doter d'une base 
technologique solide et viab le." 
2.  Conformément à la Décision du Conseil des ADPIC du 1 9 février  2003 (IP/C/28), les pays 
développés Membres doivent présenter des rapports annuels sur les mesures qu'ils ont prises ou 
envisagent de prendre conformément aux engagements qu'ils ont cont ractés en vertu de 
l'article  66:2 de l'Accord sur les ADPIC . Les Membres ont décidé de présenter un nouveau rapport 
détaillé tous les trois ans et, les années intermédiaires, une mise à jour du dernier rapport  
présenté . Le dernier rapport détaillé du Canada r emonte à 201 5. La prés ente communication 
constitue un e mise à jour de ce rapport  et fournit des  renseignements actualisés sur les activités 
du Canada concernant le transfert de technologie vers les pays les moins avancés (PMA).  
3.  Comme s uite au rapport de 20 15 soumis par le Canada, le présent rapport con tient une mise à 
jour représenta tive, mais non exhaustive, des incitations offertes aux entreprises et aux 
institutions canadiennes qui visent spécifiquement les PMA ou des groupe s de pays comprenant au 
moins un PMA.  Il convient également de noter que les activités visées par le présent rapport sont 
distinctes de s activités de coopération technique (décrites dans le rapport correspondant présenté 
par le Canada au titre de l'article  67 de l'Accord sur les ADPIC) . Cependant, comme l'ont indiqué 
divers Membres et le Secrétariat de l'OMC par le passé, ces deux concepts se chevauchent 
inévitablement . Certaines  activités technique s et financière s peuvent constituer des incitations au 
transfert de technologie, d'autant  plus que le contexte réglementa ire d'un pays (notamment 
s'agissant de la propriété intellectuelle) peut jouer un rôle essentiel dans l'établissement de 
conditions propices à un transfert durable de technologie.  
4.  Selon son interprétation du transfert de tec hnologie, le Canada considère que cette notion 
comprend  le transfert de la technologie intégrée dans les biens physiques et les services, par 
exemple les machines et les équipements ; la diffusion des connaissances et des renseignements 
techniques et commer ciaux qui constituent le fondement d'un produit, d'un procédé ou d'un 
service ; et le transfert de compétences et de savoir -faire. Par conséquent, le transfert de 
technologie peut prendre les formes suivantes : IP/C/W/61 6/Add. 4 
- 2 - 
   protection de la propriété intellectuelle (PI) incorporée dans les biens et services 
transférés ; 
 connaissances administratives et commerciales destinées à appuyer la production et la 
distribution des biens et services ; et 
 renforcement des capacités  en ressources humaines . 
5.  Le Canada offre à ses entrepri ses et institutions des incitations visant à encourager  ces trois 
formes de transfert de technologie . S'il propose divers types d'incitations financières et non 
financières (cofinancement, prêts, assurances, exonération fiscale, conseils techniques, 
établi ssement de réseaux et de contacts en vue de partenariats , par exemple ) pour faciliter les 
opérations de transfert de technologie, la plupart de c es incitations sont offertes dans le cadre de 
programmes d'aide publique au développement (APD).  
2  APERÇU  
6.  Plusieu rs ministères, organismes et programmes du gouvernement canadien offrent des 
incitations directe s ou indirecte s aux entreprises et institutions canadiennes pour qu'elles mènent 
des activités entraînant un  transfert de technologie vers les PMA . Le présent d ocument décrit les 
activités en cours de ces organismes  et présente des renseignements  actualisés à ce sujet . 
7.  Le Canada note l'intérêt persistant  des PMA Membres pour en savoir plus sur le fonctionnement 
et l'impact des programmes de transfert de technolog ie des pays développés Membres . Par 
conséquent, et suivant la proposition  des PMA reproduite  dans le document IP/C/W/561, o n 
trouvera en annexe un tableau donnant des exemples spécifiques de transfert de technologie vers 
les PMA.  
3  AFFAIRES MONDIALES CANADA  
8.  Affaires mondiales Canada  est responsable au premier chef de l' aide publique au 
développement (APD) du Canada . Les services chargés du développement administrent les pro jets 
et les pro grammes pertinents . La liste figurant dans le présent rapport  met en exe rgue des projets 
intéressants qui ont été entrepris ces dernières années . Une liste plus exhaustive des projets 
soutenus par les services d'Affaires mondiales Canada chargés du développement peut être 
consultée sur le site de la Banque de projets de dévelo ppement international d'Affaires mondiales 
Canada .1 
9.  Plusieurs programmes d 'Affaires mondiales Canada  offrent des incitations au transfert de 
technologie . Par exemple, dans le cadre du Plan d'action pour accroître l'efficacité de l'aide  du 
Ministère , l'un d es thèmes prioritaires du programme canadien d'APD s'intitule "S timuler la 
croissance économique durable" . À cet effet , la stratégie d 'Affaires mondiales Canada  sur la 
croissance économique durable vise à favoriser une croissance économique durable à long terme 
qui augmentera la production de revenus, créera des emplois et contribuera à réduire la pauvreté  
dans les pays en développement, en mettant l'accent  sur des investissements importants et ciblés 
qui soutiennent directement la croissance économique dur able des secteurs industriels et 
commerciaux de  ces pays . Cette stratégie privilégie trois domaines d 'intervention : établir des 
assises économiques, favoriser la croissance des entreprises et investir dans le capital humain.  
10.  Le domaine d'intervention "É tablir des assises économiques"  consiste , pour Affaires mondiales 
Canada , à appuyer les  activités qui renforcent les capacités en gestion de l 'économie et des 
finances publiques, ainsi que celles qui améliorent les cadres et les systèmes juridiques et 
régleme ntaires, et renforcent  les capacités nationales et locales afin de favoriser une gestion 
durable et socialement responsable de l 'environnement et des ressources naturelles, dans le but 
de favoriser la croissance économique . Axé sur le  secteur pri vé, le dom aine d'intervention 
"Favoriser la croissance des entreprises"  concerne  des activités qui soutiennent davantage le 
développement et la croissance des micro, petites et moyennes entreprises du secteur privé,

  notamment celles  gérées par des femmes . Ce domaine  d'intervention consiste aussi à appuyer  des 
activités qui visent à accroître la productivité et la viabilité des entreprises, et qui renforcent les 
produits et services des institutions financières (dont le microfinancement) et accroissent leur 
disponibil ité, ce qui favorisera la création d 'emplois pour les pauvres . De même, le domaine 
d'intervention " Investir dans le capital humain"  consiste , pour le Canada,  à appuyer  des activités 
qui augmentent l 'accès aux connaissances et à la formation professionnelle  axées sur la demande 
et qui sont essentielles pour permettre aux travailleurs d 'intégrer le marché du travail  officiel , ainsi 
que celles qui multiplient les occasions d 'apprentissage en milieu de travail, et qui soutiennent des 
initiatives d 'apprentissage  axées sur les résultats pour stimuler la croissance des entreprises, 
l'expansion des marchés et la productivité.  
11.  Voici quelques exemples notables de projets soutenus par Affaires mondiales Canada  dans ces 
domaines  (voir l'a nnexe I pour de plus amples rens eignements ): 
 Innovation et mobilisation pour la sécurité alimentaire : transfer t de technologies 
productives  agricole s (par exemple installation de modules de production 
hydroponique  et de biodigesteurs) pour augmenter la sécurité alimentaire des zones 
arides et semi -arides dans plusieurs  pays, dont le Burkina Faso.  
 Maximisation de l'efficacité de l'acheminement des va ccins: accroître l 'efficacité, 
l'efficience et le rendement du système d 'acheminement des vaccins , y compris la 
mise à l'essai de nouvelles te chnologies  en matière d'équipement  de vaccination dans 
quatre pays africains, dont l'Éthiopie  et le Mozambique.  
 Technologie solaire pour l 'Union économique et monétaire ouest -africaine : créer 
l'Institut de formation en technologie solaire appliquée (IFTSA)  à l'Université de 
Ouagadougou, en vue d'élargir les connaissances techniques et de renforcer les 
compétences pédagogiques sur les technologies solaires, et créer des liens entre 
l'IFTSA et les entreprises qui œuvrent dans le domaine de la production de 
technologies solaires.  
 Amélioration des possibilités commerciales pour les productrices agricoles : en 
collaboration avec les M ennonite Economic Development Associates of Canada 
(MEDA) , aider les femmes au Myanmar  à avoir accès au crédit, aux facteurs de 
production, aux marchés et aux nouvelles technologies, par exemple en accordant des 
subventions de contrepartie à des petites et moyennes entreprises (PME) pour la mise 
à niveau des outils technologiques, ainsi qu'en concevant des produits financiers 
nouveaux ou améliorés à l 'intention des productrices, en partenariat avec des 
institutions financières.  
12.  La Direction générale  des Partenariats pour l'innovation dans le développement d'Affaires 
mondiales Canada  qui, par le truchement du programme Citoyens du monde , s'efforce d'amener 
les Canadiens à participer en plus grand nombre aux efforts de développement international, 
soutient aussi des programmes qui encourag ent le transfert de technologie et offre une aide au 
développement dans le domaine de la formation tec hnique et professionnelle  dans les PMA. Par 
exemple, Affaires mondiales Canada  continue de soutenir deux projets de l'organisme Digital 
Opportunity Trust concernant des initiatives liées aux technologies de l'information et des 
communications (TIC) pour  l'entrepreneuriat  et le développement des entreprises  dans des PMA 
africains . Le projet Entreprises et développement menés par des jeunes  a assuré une formation et 
un perfectionnement des compétences  dans le domaine des TIC à 625 stagiaires , ce qui leur a 
permis de présenter les  programm es du  Digital Opportunity Trust  à plus de 85  000 participants 
dans plusieurs  pays, dont l'Éthiopie, l'Ouganda et le Rwanda . Un second projet, plus récent,  
Entrepreneuriat et croissance des entreprises pour la jeunesse , utilise  actuellement les TIC pour 
fournir des services  de développement des entreprises et renforcer l es capacités d'offrir des 
programmes d'entrepreneuriat pour les jeunes en Éthiopie.  
13.  Au niveau multilatéral, le Canada continue de contribuer activement à de nomb reuses 
institutions internationales qui offrent elles -mêmes des incitations au transfert de technologie vers 
les pays en développement Membres et les PMA . À cet égard, les contributions que le Canada 
verse au fonds d'assistance technique de l'OMC, à la Ban que mondiale, à la Banque IP/C/W/61 6/Add. 4 
- 4 - 
  interaméricaine de développement, à la Banque africaine de développement et à la Banque 
asiatique de développement encouragent toutes le transfert de technologie.  
14.  S'agissant des changements climatiques, par exemple, Affaires mondi ales Canada  collabore  
avec la Banque mondiale en ce qui concerne un certain nombre de fonds d'investissement et 
d'initiatives liés au transfert de technologie , y compris les suivants : 
 Fonds d'investissement pour le climat – Fonds pour les technologies prop res (FTP) : un 
financement de 200 millions de dollars canadiens est accordé au Fonds pour les 
technologies propres (FTP) afin de soutenir l'utilisation de technologies propres, à 
faible teneur en carbone, et de soutenir  les investissements en faveur de l'ef ficacité 
énergétique dans les secteurs de l'énergie et du transport de plusieurs  pays d'Asie, 
d'Afrique et d'Amérique . En juin 2014, ce projet avait permis  l'approbation de plans 
d'investissement dans différents  pays, y compris un projet régional au Moyen -Orient 
et en Afrique du Nord, portant sur la réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre 
(GES), la puissance installée des énergies renouvelables,  les économies d'énergie , 
ainsi qu' un financement direct  obtenu grâce à  un investissement du FTP.  
 Fonds  pour l'environnement mondial (FEM) : par l'intermédiaire  du FEM, le Canada 
soutient des travaux dans des domaines comme  les changements climatiques, la 
biodiversité, les produits chimiques et les déchets (y compris le mercure), la 
dégradation des sols, les ea ux internationales et la gestion durable des forêts, en 
appuyant l'adoption accélérée de technologie s et de pratiques de gestion innovantes 
dans ces domaines.  
 Fonds de partenariat pour le carbone forestier (FCPF) : par l'intermédiaire  du Fonds 
pour le carbo ne et du Fonds de préparation du FCPF, le Canada a offert 45 millions de 
dollars canadiens afin d' aider les pays en développement, y compris les PMA, à mettre 
en œuvre des programmes de réduction des émissions de GES et des stratégies pour 
faire face à la déforestation  et à la dégradation des forêts . 
15.  Le Canada appuie aussi des programmes sectoriels concernant la sécurité alimentaire, 
notamment par l'intermédiaire du Groupe consultatif pour la recherche agricole internationale 
(CGIAR), y compris en accordant  13,8 millions de dollars canadiens au CGIAR en 2014 -2015, à 
titre de soutien institutionnel , pour comb attre la faim et la pauvreté, améliorer la santé humaine et 
la nutrition et renforcer la résilience écologique en favorisant les partenariats, le leaders hip et 
l'excellence dans la recherche agronomique internationale . En outre , Affaires mondiales Canada  a 
investi trois millions de dollars canadiens pour la période 2014 -2016 dans l'Initiative sur le blé du 
CGIAR, qui vise  à contribuer à accroître le rendem ent des cultures de blé , à adapter la production 
de blé dans les régions vulnérables aux changements  climatiques, à améliorer la résistance aux 
maladies  et à réduire la malnutrition chez les enfants . 
4  CENTRE DE RECHERCHES POUR LE DÉVELOPPEMENT INTERNATIONAL  (CRDI)  
16.  En tant que société d'État autonome  relevant du portefeuille des affaires étrangères et du 
développement du Canada, l e Centre de recherches pour le développement international (CRDI)  
investit dans le savoir, l'innovation et les solutions en vue d 'améliorer les conditions de vie des 
populations des pays en développement . Le CRDI soutient financièrement des chercheurs de pays 
en développement pour l'exécution de travaux concernant  des problèmes cruciaux pour leurs 
populations ; accompagne les chercheur s tout au long de la démarche d'innovation ; et facilite 
l'accès à l'information et aux services, ainsi que les contacts avec les  chercheurs, responsables des 
politiques  et hommes et femmes d'affaires . Le CRDI a vu le jour en vertu d 'une loi que le 
Parlemen t a adoptée en 1970 pour aider les pays en développement à trouver des solutions à 
leurs problèmes.  
17.  Le CRDI soutient la recherche par l'intermédiaire de trois grands programmes : 
 Agriculture et environ nement, qui vise à  produire des innovations et des solut ions 
fondées sur des données probantes dans les domaines de l 'agriculture, des 
changements climatiques et de la santé . IP/C/W/61 6/Add. 4 
- 5 - 
   Économies inclusives , qui vise à protéger l 'avenir des enfants et des jeunes, stimuler 
une croissance économique durable, promouvoir l 'égalité entre les sexes et contribuer 
au renforcement des institutions et des pratiques de gouvernance.  
 Technologie  et innovation , qui aide les pays en développement à mettre la science et 
les technologies avancées au service de l 'innovation et de la croissa nce. 
18.  S'agissant du transfert de technologie, le CRDI soutient la recherche dans les PMA afin de 
promouvoir la croissance et le développement . À cet effet, il a recours à une approche qui combine 
un soutien financier en vue de créer de nouvelles possibilité s de recherche, un engagement 
intellectuel aux côtés des bénéficiaires ainsi que l'encadrement de leur processus de recherche, et 
un rôle d'intermédiaire visant à traduire les recherches en politiques . Ces activités aident les PMA à 
mettre au point leurs p ropres technologies, à adapter à leurs besoins les technologies existantes et 
à accroître leur savoir -faire en matière de gestion de la recherche . Par exemple, le Fonds canadien 
de recherche sur la sécurité alimentaire internationale  (FCRSAI), financé par le CRDI et Affaires 
mondiales Canada , soutient les recherches qui débouchent sur des innovations en matière 
d'agriculture et encourage la collaboration de chercheurs de pays en développement avec des 
spécialistes du Canada . Actuellement  dans sa deuxième ph ase, le FCRSAI s'appuie sur les résultats 
déjà obtenus  pour réduire les pertes après récolte et commercialiser  des vaccins destinés au 
bétail.2 
19.  À titre d'exemple, grâce au financement du FCRSAI, des chercheurs de la Vaccine and 
Infectious Diseases Organiza tion de l'Université de la Saskatchewan, au Canada,  et de la Kenya 
Agricultural and Livestock Research Organization ont i dentifié de nouvelles protéines dans le but 
d'améliorer l 'efficacité d 'un vaccin contre la pleuropneumonie contagieuse bovine (PPCB) . Cette 
maladie pulmonaire des bovins a des répercussions dévastatrices sur le s moyen s de subsistance 
de 24  millions d 'Africain s. Les producteurs de bétail d' Afrique subsaharienne, dont la plupart sont 
de petits éleveurs, perdent l 'équivalent de 60 millions d e dollars  canadiens chaque année  à cause 
de cette maladie . Grâce à  de nouvelles sommes, les chercheurs développeront un vaccin contre la 
PPCB. Ils prendront des mesures pour que soit enregistré et homologué le vaccin en Afrique 
subsaharienne, en partenaria t avec des fabricants de vaccins et des organismes gouvernementaux 
de réglementation.  
20.  En 2013 -2014, le CRDI a soutenu le projet intitulé Favoriser l'adoption de nouvelles 
techniques de production du pois chiche dans le sud de l'Éthiopie (FCRSAI) , qui avait  pour objet de 
faciliter et d'accélérer l'adoption sur une grande échelle de techniques de production du pois chiche 
dans la région des hautes terres du sud de l'Éthiopie . Touchant directement 600  ménages 
agricoles , les produits  du projet sont les suivants : des documents de communication sur les 
pratiques avantageuses en matière de systèmes de semences communautaires et de production 
du pois chiche, ainsi que des cartes géoréférencées des producteurs de semences 
communautaires, des organismes de producteurs , de l'accès au marché et du potentiel 
d'expansion de la production.  
21.  Le programme Innovation pour la santé des mères et des enfants d’ Afrique , doté d'un budget 
de 36 millions de dollars canadiens et couvrant une période de sept ans, est le résultat d'un 
partenariat entre le CRDI, Affaires mondiales Canada et les Instituts de recherche en santé du 
Canada. Un grand nombre de s projets menés  dans le cadre de ce programme  mettent à l'essai 
l'utilisation des tél éphones cellulaires  afin d' améliorer l'accès aux professionnels de la santé , de 
fournir des renseignements et des services supplémentaires aux femmes enceintes et d'étendre les 
services aux régions rurales d'Éthiopie, de Tanzanie , du Mali et du Burkina Faso.  
22.  D'autres travaux du CRDI visent à identifier les effets de l 'accès généralisé aux téléphones 
mobiles et à Internet dans les pays en développement . Les recherches soutenues par le CRDI 
produisent des résultats  qui permettent de favoriser un changement social et économique positif, 
en particulier en ce qui  a trait à la gouvernance, à  l'éducation  et à la science . Voici quelques 
exemples de projets dans ce domaine : 
 Vers une économie réseautée en Birmanie (Myanmar) : Le CRDI  versera 1,2 million de 
dollars canadiens  sur la période 2015 -2018 pour faciliter  l'accès au téléphone

  cellulaire et à Internet, élargir l'accès aux  services publics par le  biais du  contenu et 
des applications numériques et instaurer une meilleure culture numérique  au 
Myanmar , en vue d'aider celui-ci à faire la transition vers une économie ré seautée et 
inclusive et à offrir à ses citoyens un accès à la technologie et aux services.  
 Passage à plus grande échelle des entreprises technologiques africaines en phase de 
démarrage : le projet vise à examiner  si les innovations collaboratives ouvertes e n 
réseau aident les entreprises en démarrage à passer à grande échelle et à saisir les 
occasions économiques mondiales  et comment elles le font . Une équipe 
interdisciplinaire de chercheurs africains étudiera le potentiel économique des 
innovations collabor atives naissantes en Afrique dans les entreprises d'innovatio n 
numérique du secteur informel, les entreprises communautaires et  l'entrepreneuriat 
dans les centres de haute technologie.3 
5  INNOVATION, SCIENCES ET DÉVELOPPEMENT ÉCONOMIQUE (ISDE)  CANADA  
23.  Le Cent re de recherches sur les communications (CRC)4 d'ISDE Canada est le principal 
laboratoire fédéral de recherche -développement spécialisé dans les télécommunications de pointe 
et un centre d'excellence des TIC. Il s'agit du seul laboratoire national disposan t du savoir -faire 
requis pour les quatre principaux modes de transmission de l'information au Canada : le sans -fil, la 
radiodiffusion, le satellite et la fibre optique.  
24.  Bien qu' il ne s'intéresse pas exclusivement aux PMA, ISDE Canada finance plusieurs 
progr ammes encourageant le transfert de technologies des communications par des institutions et 
entreprises canadiennes . En ce qui concerne les télécommunications, il favorise l'interconnectivité 
et l'interopérabilité à l'échelle mondiale des réseaux, applicati ons et services à large bande (par 
exemple pour la télémédecine et le téléapprentissage) . Cette activité vise à améliorer le climat 
d'investissement aux niveaux national et international afin d' inciter les différents acteurs à 
pénétrer les marchés mondiaux  en poussant un plus grand nombre de sociétés à rendre leurs 
produits et services prêts à l'exportation . Elle appuie également les instituts de recherche 
canadiens qui participent à des projets internationaux dans les domaines émergents que sont le 
commerc e électronique, la génomique, les technologies environnementales et l'ingénierie de 
pointe.  
25.  Dans le cadre du Groupe de travail sur les télécommunications et l'information pour la 
Coopération économique Asie -Pacifique (APEC TEL), de la Commission interaméri caine des 
télécommunications (CITEL), et grâce à  la participation du Canada aux réunions du Groupe 
consultatif pour le développement des télécommunications (GCDT) de l'UIT, ISDE Canada soutient 
un éventail d' initiatives de renforcement des capacités en org anisant des séminaires et ateliers sur 
la politique en matière de TIC/télécommunications et les questions relatives à la réglementation 
qui encouragent les discussions sur les options réglementaires viables favorisant la concurrence et 
le développement des  télécommuni cations et des TIC dans les PMA . 
6  RESSOURCES NATURELLES CANADA  
26.  Le Secteur des sciences de la terre (SST) de Ressources naturelles Canada (RNCan)  a travaillé 
de pair avec Affaires mondiales Canada , dans le cadre d'un protocole d'entente  avec le 
gouvernement sénégalais , à l'établiss ement d'un partenariat pour un Plan national de géomatique  
du Sénégal  d'un montant de 6 millions de dollars canadiens (auquel viennent s'ajouter des 
contributions en nature) . Ce projet a contribu é à assurer une gestion d urable au Sénégal et à 
renforcer les ressources humaines et techniques connexes.  
27.  Les objectifs du Plan national de géomatique du Sénégal  étaient les suivants:  
 mettre en place des normes uniformes pour les données spatiales ; 
 établir des normes pour le parta ge des coûts des responsabilités ;

- 7 - 
   développer les infrastructures de données et les technologies existantes pour la 
collecte de données afin d'établir une base de données topographiques ; 
 fournir une formation sur l'utilisation et la mise en œuvre des techno logies de la 
géomatique ; et 
 mieux faire connaître au secteur privé et aux décideurs opérationnels sénégalais les 
capacités et les applications de l'information géospatiale et des modèles géospatiaux . 
28.  En outre, RNCan a versé une contribution de 13 millions de dollars canadiens entre 2009 et 
2014, en faveur de  l'Initiative pour un réseau de f orêts modèles en Afrique,  du Secrétariat du 
Réseau international de forêts modèles , qui avait pour  objectif d 'améliorer la conservation et la 
gestion durable des ressourc es forestières en Afrique francophone, y compris  la région  du bassin 
du Congo et la région méditerranéenne de l 'Afrique . Dans le cadre de ce  projet , six initiatives pour 
des forêts  modèles  ont été lancées et/ou consolidées dans différents  pays, y compris l a République 
démocratique du Congo et le Rwanda, et l'organisation d' activités d'apprentissage et de transfert 
de connaissances ainsi que la réalisation de  projets de recherche par des étudiants universitaires 
canadiens  ont contribué à un ensemble d'interv entions qui ont aidé à réduire la pression exercée 
sur les forêts et/ou à reconstituer  des zones boisées.  
29.  Enfin, RNCan est chargée du Logiciel de gestion d'énergies propres RETScreen . Le logiciel 
RETScreen est fourni gratuitement par le gouvernement du Can ada. Il est utilisé dans tous les 
pays et territoires du monde, y compris les PMA, et est disponible en 36  langues , couvrant  les 
deux tiers de la population mondiale . RETScreen est un excellent exemple de transfert de 
technologie et un outil précieux de dé veloppement durable , parce qu'il aide les PMA à passer 
directement des installations énergétiques classiques , relativement  coûteuses , aux projets liés aux 
énergies propres ayant le meilleur rapport coût -efficacité, et donc à répondre à leurs besoins et 
objectifs énergétiques.5 
7   CONSEIL NATIONAL DE RECHERCHES DU CANADA (CNRC)  
30.  Le Programme d'aide à la recherche industrielle (PARI), qui relève du Conseil national de 
recherches du Canada (CNRC), encourage et aide les petites et moyennes entreprises canadiennes 
à établir avec des pays développés et moins développés des partenariats internationaux reposant 
sur la technologie . En partenariat avec Affaires mondiales Canada, le PARI soutient les missions de 
groupes qui souhaitent explorer les possibilités de ce type . Le PARI réalise également des missions 
de façon indépendante et avec d'autres partenaires . Outre les missions de groupes, il travaille 
avec des sociétés ou avec certains secteurs et mène des activités dans le domaine de l'intelligence 
compétitive techniqu e. Sans être destinées en particulier aux PMA, les initiatives internationales du 
PARI visent principalement à fournir un soutien dans un certain nombre de domaines clés, 
notamment : 
 le soutien direct aux petites et moyennes entreprises ayant des intérêts 
internationaux ; 
 l'établissement de partenariats technologiques, incluant des services d'acquisition, de 
transfert et de jumelage de technologies ; et 
 les projets conjoints de recherche -développement et d'autres projets liés aux 
technologies .

- 8 - ANNEX E I1 
The following chart presents some representative project and programme examples undertaken by the principal Canadian agencies involved in technology 
transfer activities. This chart has been developed to show certain criteria as requested by LDCs at the October  2008 and October 2010 Workshops on 
Article  66.2, and follows the format suggested by LDCs in document IP/C/W/561. The chart is not an exhaustive list of programmes and projects undertaken by 
Canadian departments and agencies, but rather serv es as an illustrative overview of the institutions and enterprises that transfer physical capital,  goods,  know -
how, information,  and data to LDCs.  It follows  from Canada's  conceptualization  of technology transfer and illustrates the range of ongoing Canadi an initiatives 
specific to LDCs.
