Innovation is about more than just having a great idea. From research to financing to recruitment and scaling, each step is critical for organizations, big and small. Maximizing your potential and capitalizing your research and development are the keys to succeeding in the global marketplace.
Canadian small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are driving innovation across every industry, but having a groundbreaking new technology or product is only half the battle. Taking it to market and commercializing your research is essential for long-term growth and success. Where does your product or service fit into the Canadian and global marketplace? How will you get it there? SMEs need to be nimble and well- equipped to tackle these challenges, but many lack the resources, know-how and experience to take innovation from concept to commerce. That’s where Mitacs comes in.
38 percent of SME leaders say that insufficient knowledge of the market and their competition is impeding their company’s growth.
