Recherche

Le i2I Research & Innovation Institute allie recherche et pratique pour faire progresser l’écosystème canadien de la recherche, de l’innovation et de la commercialisation. Grâce à des travaux continus sur l’entrepreneuriat, la commercialisation et les écosystèmes d’innovation, nous produisons des connaissances fondées sur des données probantes qui permettent de mieux comprendre comment la recherche génère des retombées concrètes.

Ces connaissances guident les conseils, les programmes, les rapports et les stratégies que nous élaborons pour soutenir les chercheurs, les établissements, l’industrie et les décideurs partout au Canada.
