Sue Paish

Canada is at a ‘moment’. As a universally trusted trading partner, home to globally recognized academic excellence and heralded for our innovators, this is Canada’s ‘moment’ to shine. Canadian companies can lead the world in the development and deployment of digital solutions. DIGITAL is driving to this outcome. DIGITAL brings together the buyers and builders of technologies to develop and deliver digital solutions that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges while capturing growth and success opportunities for Canadian companies and for Canada.

DIGITAL supports the development and deployment of technologies that can improve productivity, attract investment, facilitate growth and accelerate success of Canadian companies as they develop and deploy solutions that accelerate the energy transition, increase housing capacity, combat climate change, drive workforce development and improve human health at home and around the world.

Since 2018, DIGITAL has leveraged Canada’s strengths to develop and deliver products and services that create opportunities for Canadian industry, communities and our country. From the outset DIGITAL saw the promise of our natural resources, the imperative to re-think healthcare delivery, and the power of skilled Canadians to accelerate the delivery of products and services that capture global opportunities.

 

Through the inspiration, dedication and commitment of our member organizations, DIGITAL’s impact speaks for itself. Our investments have generated 730+ Canadian-owned IP assets and patents, commercialized 190+ digital products and services, and unlocked $1.4B in follow-on funding for Canadian companies. We’ve helped grow Canadian companies with 70% of our co-investments going to Canadian SMEs, and our workforce development initiatives have created skilling and career opportunities for 18,000+ Canadians across every province and territory. Throughout this report, we are proud to share the success stories of Canadian innovation champions who prove that by working together, Canada delivers success, prosperity and exceptional results.

Thank you to our Board of Directors and our partners across the Government of Canada and the Government of British Columbia for your unwavering commitment to Canada’s future. Thank you to our DIGITAL team who sweat every day to support the work we do. Thank you to our Members who are leading the way in building a strong, resilient and growing future for Canadian innovation. This is Canada’s moment.
