“Canadian innovation has long been at the forefront of important global initiatives.”
“When you have a big problem- shrink it, and when you have a complex problem simplify it, That’s what IAC is doing for the Canadian cleantech ecosystem; it’s shrinking the problem and simplifying the problem.”
“It was gratifying to see the national IP strategy come alive with IAC being launched because it’s the jewel in crown. There’s a lot that can be done in IP education and awareness and there’s a lot of resources for that. But once you have a collective come in, and this is the country’s first patent collective, and probably one of the more unique ones globally as well, it puts Canada on the map.”
“We all know that today, probably more than ever, IP is integral to growing firms and to fuelling innovation, which will then fuel prosperity.”
