4POINT0

4POINT0 brings together highly complementary expertise and multiple levels of analysis to break the disciplinary and sectoral silos: universities, research centers, innovation intermediaries, SMEs, large firms, industry associations, and governments. Team members study innovative collaborative ecosystems through multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral approaches. The overarching goal of 4POINT0 is to propose, help put in place and evaluate innovation ecosystem models that accelerate and improve the trajectory of disruptive technologies from science and technology to innovation to foster strong economic development. 4POINT0 intends to answer the following question: How can Canada benefit from its strength in science and technology, build dynamic innovation ecosystems to keep abreast of these disruptive technologies and hence contribute to innovation and strong economic development?
