Summary
Over the last 20 years, the CCA has carried out a series of assessments evaluating Canada’s science, technology, and innovation performance, trends, and challenges. These reports have helped to inform national strategies, industry- and sector-focused policies and programs, and research priorities and spending. They tell a story of a country that excels in research but faces hurdles to greater innovation and productivity.
The State of Science, Technology, and Innovation in Canada 2025 builds on our flagship series with important new evidence and insights. It sets out the essential context for understanding innovation performance in Canada and how we compare internationally, assesses resources being directed toward the system, and identifies barriers and knowledge gaps for improving outcomes.
