RE$EARCH MONEY CONFERENCE

March 8th in Ottawa

"Are Canada's Business R&D Incentives Working?"

The sixth annual RE$EARCH MONEY Conference examines the effectiveness of government policies and programs to encourage R&D and innovation in Canada.

What mix of incentives should governments choose?

Is the current focus on R&D enough, or do companies need other kinds of support?

What mechanisms are other countries using to grow their knowledge-based sectors?

Kirk Mandy, President and CEO of Zarlink Semiconductor, will deliver the keynote address. He will be joined by a powerful roster of accomplished business leaders and other experts including: Bob Crow, VP Industry & Government Relations, Research in Motion, Bob Fessenden, Deputy Minister, Alberta Advanced Education and Technology, Lisa Crossley, President & CEO, Nysa Membrane Technologies Inc, John Wood, Senior Advisor, Science and Technology, General Motors Canada, Alastair Glass, Deputy Minister, Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation, and Jim Roche, Acting President & CEO, Canadian Microelectronics Corp.

The aim of the RE$EARCH MONEY Conference is to determine how Canadian policy makers can best support a vital and growing private sector capable of winning globally.

The RE$EARCH MONEY Conference will be held at the National Arts Centre.
