Media Advisory: State of the Nation 2012 Report on Canada's Science, Technology and Innovation System
Canada must aim higher to achieve global leadership
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 05/17/13 -- Canada's relatively strong economic position has helped develop an innovation system that drives economic growth and prosperity and encourages advances in overall well-being for Canadians.
However, despite having much to celebrate in the areas of talent development and new knowledge creation, Canada's overall science, technology, and innovation (STI) performance continues to lag on the global stage. On May 21st, the Science, Technology and Innovation Council (STIC) will release its most recent State of the Nation report comparing Canada's STI performance against key comparator countries.
The State of the Nation 2012 report, Canada's Science, Technology and Innovation System: Aspiring to Global Leadership - STIC's third public report - charts Canada's development from the baseline set in 2008. New to STIC's reports, it identifies five key STI indicators, in particular, where Canada must aspire to global leadership.
Media are invited to attend a news conference at the following date and time:
