Putting Science to Work for Canada
In today's global economy, industrial innovation is shaping the competitive position of nations. In Canada, NRC supports this process by sharing its research excellence, state-of-the-art laboratories and commercialization capacity with companies and communities across the country. NRC's collaborative activities help create market solutions that sustain our quality of life and contribute to the competitiveness of Canadian industry.
With a focus on today's national priorities, NRC's new strategy is designed to generate sustainable economic and quality of life benefits for all Canadians, building on a long tradition of service to the nation.
NRC connects to the real needs of the market and society through:
- frontier science/mission-oriented science and technology in collaboration with organizations engaged in research and related activities;
- business growth and commercialization activities in collaboration with organizations engaged in business and economic development; and
- technology development and demonstration in collaboration with organizations that develop products, services and processes, and potential collaborators within the innovation system (academia, industry, federal laboratories, etc).
