Description
Registration and Breakfast begins at 8:30am
Key countries in the Asia-Pacific region are leading most of the developed world in terms of their growing commitment to scientific and technological development. Sustained economic growth over the past two decades has enabled key Asian markets such as China and India to enhance their investments in research and development. These investments, together with institutional reforms and globalization forces are changing the innovation landscape, with a growing participation of Asia. Several countries including China, India, Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea have made considerable progress in high-tech innovations in information technologies (IT), biotechnology, pharmaceuticals and others. The key questions to be addressed are what the rising innovation capacity in Asia means for Canada? What public policies and business strategies can allow us to capitalize on emerging opportunities? How can we be a participant in the Asian innovation story?
Please join us for a networking reception after the lecture from 11am-12pm.
