Channel: CIPP McGILL
Date: 03/01/2019

This panel discusses the nature of scale—the notion that, as firms, cities, and innovation ecosystems grow, it becomes less expensive for them to supply services. This process not only pertains to the economy; it has cultural, social, and diversity implications. Invoking different social and theoretical perspectives, this panels will ask what are the challenges, advantages, and underlying rationales of scaling up innovation?

With Dan Breznitz (Chair of Innovation Studies, Munk School of Global Affairs), Olena Ivus (Associate Professor of Business Economics, Queen’s University), Kelley Packalen (Associate Professor, Smith School of Business, Queen's University) - Moderator: David Lametti, MP (Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development)
