Embracing Transition: Opportunity and Responsibility to Create a Better Future

At our 23rd annual R$ conference, themed "Reverse-Engineering the Future: Creating the Future We Want for Canada in 15 Years," there was a strong consensus that Canada needs a focused industrial strategy to guide innovation policy and regulation. You can read summaries of the proceedings here.

The key element of a sound industrial strategy is to identify where we want to be in 15 years and then “reverse engineer” how to get there from now. But to start, where are we now? And what successes, if any, over the past five years can we lean into?

Day One sessions will include:

• Reflecting on Canada's Innovation Journey
• Does Budget 2025 Address Canada’s Productivity Problem?
• Success Stories in Canadian Innovation
• Youth and Innovation: The Next Generation of Leaders
• Navigating Regulatory Landscapes: Industry and Regulator Perspectives

Day Two sessions will include:

• The Current Innovation Landscape: Responding to Rapid Change
• Adapting to Change: Strategies for Resilience and Growth
• Leveraging Platform Technologies: Short-Term Opportunities
• Workforce Transformation: Upskilling and Reskilling in the Face of Automation
• The Role of Public Policy in Fostering Innovation: Immediate Priorities

Join us in May 2025 to explore where innovation in Canada has come from, and where it’s headed.
