The Government of Canada is investing $29.2M into Talent Innovation Canada (TICAN), a national non-profit organization that will connect the top talent from Canadian universities with high-growth companies. The organization will match graduate students and post-doctoral fellows with firms to help them solve challenges, transition ideas from research to market, and increase the amount of Canadian intellectual property. “Canada’s ability to compete will depend on how effectively we develop and apply new technologies,” stated TICAN CEO Dr Arvind Gupta. “By connecting highly skilled researchers with Canadian companies to solve real-world challenges, Talent Innovation Canada strengthens our capacity to innovate, commercialize and grow the industries that will define our future.”
