Join us for C.D. Howe’s Rising Leaders Series: Canada’s Tech Appeal – Making Canada #1 for Global Tech Talent
Date: 09 November 2016
Location: C.D. Howe Institute, 67 Yonge Street, Suite 300
Canada ranks
#13 globally on the World Economic Forum’s competitiveness rankings and #24 for
innovation. With global competition growing at unprecedented speed, it is
imperative that Canadian policymakers thoughtfully assess our current policy
mix for fostering innovation. So, is Canada falling behind in the global war
for technology talent? If yes, what can be done to foster talent in our
borders?
On Nov 9th,
join the C.D. Howe Institute for its annual Rising Leader Series featuring
Terry Stuart, CIO, Deloitte, John Ruffolo, CEO, OMERS Ventures, and Ian
Collyer, Partner, Boyden as they unpack these pressing questions.

About C.D. Howe Institute
The Institute
began life in 1958 when a group of prominent business and labour leaders
organized the Private Planning Association of Canada to research and promote
educational activities on issues related to public economic and social policy.
In 1973, the PPAC’s assets and activities became part of the C.D. Howe Memorial
Foundation, created in 1961 to memorialize the late Right Honourable Clarence
Decatur Howe. The new organization operated as the C.D. Howe Research Institute
until 1982, when the Memorial Foundation chose to focus directly on
memorializing C.D. Howe; the Institute then adopted its current name: the C.D.
Howe Institute.
The C.D. Howe Institute commands the attention and respect of Canada’s top opinion leaders and policymakers. The quality and pertinence of the Institute’s research, and its capacity to pull together decision makers for off-the-record discussions, is unequalled.
