Canada consistently ranks near the bottom of global innovation indexes — despite world-class education, research, and talent. In Addressing Canada’s Innovation Paradox, I explore the reasons why.
Drawing on insights from the Conference Board of Canada, Jim Balsillie, and the Council of Canadian Innovators, this episode exposes the roots of our productivity challenge: an outdated Industrial Mindset, indirect funding models, and a failure to own and scale our intellectual property.
It is time for a bold shift from an Industrial Mindset to a Knowledge Mindset - one that makes knowledge our primary commodity, not physical products and shows how Canada can become the innovator’s first customer, closing the commercialization gap and keeping innovation value at home.
Through real-world examples, research, and reflection, For What It’s Worth re-imagines how Canada can transform from an exporter of ideas to a global leader in innovation.
