Show Quotes:
"What we're really looking to do is use IP to build Canadian success stories and help drive the Canadian economy. We do this by supporting small to medium enterprises and scale them up when it comes to understanding and leveraging IP and developing IP strategy."
"Where we fall down, I would say, are on those innovation outputs. So how are we turning those inputs into value propositions we can build on? And I think one of the huge opportunities we have available to us is to really build better understanding around intellectual property and the value it can provide amongst our business community."
