Few things spark the imagination like scientific and technological discovery.
From the development of Canada's robotic arm for the International Space Station to the revolution in multipurpose personal communications systems on earth, Ontario's ability to compete in world markets will depend on its ability to successfully advance science and technology for economic benefit through the development of innovative products. Developing one successful product, it's about creating innovative, leading-edge companies with people who know how to exploit new ideas for commercial success. The ability to drive innovation from discovery to marketplace will boost shareholder returns, bring new investors and strengthen our economy. The challenge is to manage innovation so that it permeates our entire economic infrastructure, our people, our culture and our communications. Develop strategic priorities for research and development at the provincial and institutional levels.
