  • Advanced Technology Manufacturing in Canada
    The virtuous cycle of idea to mfg to market is a driver to innovation. Advanced Technology Manufacturing in Canada is still important not just for jobs, but also informs our researchers and innovators about what is possible, pragmatic and profitable. We cannot separate the innovative ideas from the ability to deliver a product to the marketplace and we need to keep a level of that capability close to the researchers and innovators.
