For Influencers
MaRS Innovation was created to address one of Canada’s greatest and most persistent challenges: our need to better turn invention into innovation.
Canada is among the best in the world in coming up with breakthrough discoveries but we rank much lower when it comes to commercializing them. In fact, by most rankings of competitiveness, productivity or innovation, Canada is being surpassed by other advanced nations.
MaRS Innovation exists to help reverse this trend. Our presence at the heart of the largest and most active research hub in the country is a testament to the Government of Canada’s decision to accelerate the country’s commercialization challenge in new and more effective ways. We are part of a larger public sector innovation strategy to secure a brighter economic future for Canada and Canadians through the power of our scientists’ discoveries.
