Canada is doing its utmost to promote itself internationally as an innovation leader with its initiatives to attract investment and talent.

And for Navdeep Bains, the effort includes superclusters, a Strategic Innovation Fund, venture capital (VC) initiatives, and promoting Canada’s diversity and openness. The minister of innovation, science and economic development just completed a two-day trip to the biggest tech hub in the world—Silicon Valley—to build cross-border partnerships.
