Supercash for superclusters: Government of Canada commits $950M in funding to five “superclusters” representing 450 Canadian entities
The ISI was launched on May 24, 2017, as part of the Government of Canada’s multi-year Innovation and Skills Plan in order to spark growth and help Canada realize its potential as a global leader in innovation. This was accomplished by encouraging the development of “superclusters”, which are industry-led, not-for-profit entities that have been formed to represent clusters of businesses, research institutions, and other innovators in regional and industry specific areas.
