George Brown Polytechnic is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work and live in the community with each other.

Canada has the talent, research and entrepreneurial ambition to lead on the global stage, yet too often our biggest breakthroughs fail to reach the marketplace. Drawing on insights from the Council of Canadian Academies' State of Science, Technology and Innovation in Canada 2025 report, this timely discussion brings together experts to examine Canada's innovation performance, where our strengths and vulnerabilities lie, and what it will take to turn discovery into lasting economic growth.
Join MaRS on July 16th as a panel of experts examine where Canada is succeeding, where gaps persist and the hard choices we have to make.
