2016 Innovatioin Context Panel

Innovation in Context 2 continues the conversation we started last year on the social context and policy that advances innovation. Our focus this year is on scaling-up along three dimensions:

1) scaling-up firms to enter global markets
2) scaling-up innovation eco-systems to build and sustain innovation over the long term
3) scaling-up diversity so that more women, minorities and indigenous peoples play a role in innovation

Through discussions that cut across discipline and sectors, we will investigate how the social context promotes innovation and well-being in Quebec, Canada and the world.
