Mobility Systems and Technologies for the 21st Century

*Provisory name

Background

• Announced in Budget 2016-17, 800M$ (6 sectors)

• Launched in 2017-18, 950M$ (7 sectors)

• High-growth priority sectors• Advanced manufacturing

• Clean technologies

• Digital Technologies

• Agri-Food

• Health bio-sciences

• Clean resources

• Transportation and Infrastructure

2

Goal and Objectives

• To accelerate the growth and development of business-ledinnovation, translating the strengths of our innovation ecosystemsinto new commercial and global opportunities for growth andcompetitiveness

• Reinforce innovation ecosystems through collaboration and stronger linkages(Industry, Governments, RTO) and by addressing gaps

• Moving the needle : BERD, Jobs, Exports, Revenues, Business creation andventures…

• Initiative KPIs : number of projects, value of investment, number ofbusinesses participating, number of product or processes developed, rate ofemployment growth for SME participating

3

The Format

• 3-5 Super clusters ≈ 125-250 M$ over 5 years, matched by industry)

• Regionally anchored, national in scope

• Fostering intersectoral collaboration, benefits beyond clustermembers

• Broad and diverse membership• Large, medium and small businesses + post-secondary institution• First phase : 4 businesses (2 large, 1 medium, 1 small)

• Funding channelled through not-for-profit organization

• Making the case for how the funding can generate transformativeresults and lead to the growth of a world-leading supercluster
