Are emerging innovation hubs overtaking Canada's innovation efforts? Canada stands at a pivotal moment in its quest to be a global innovation leader, known for its strengths in clean technology, advanced manufacturing, and AI. Despite its renowned companies like Shopify and BlackBerry, Canada is falling behind, especially in radical aspiration compared to the US and other emerging innovation hubs. To bridge this gap, Canada must pivot towards radical innovation while nurturing its incremental strengths. Strengthening collaboration, creating robust ecosystems, and fostering a culture valuing visionary projects are key. Collaboration between startups, enterprises, and government is vital for driving innovation across sectors. Our study, "Comparing Western and Emerging Innovation Hubs," analyzes data from 10,000 organizations across 105 countries, highlighting the need for Canada to lead with vision and innovation. Learn more about how emerging hubs are reshaping the global innovation landscape: See more results from our study here: https://lnkd.in/et-repkJ #innovationmanagement #innovationbydesign Khaldoun Aboul-Saoud Lionel Ang Magnus Penker Johannes Jarl Innovation 360 Group AB

Are you going to be at Startup Canada's Tour in Moncton? So Are we! We're super excited to be pitching our company and products and connecting with all the other entrepreneurs in the region. If you're looking to meet some of the latest startups and find out more about the problems we're challenging, sign up today for a chat! Taking 3D Scans and converting them a usable CAD model is an arduous process. Depending on your tool, you may spend hours going over the scan to manually bring it into your CAD design tool of choice. Converting from millions of points to a functional 3D asset takes a lot of time. This is what we're tackling with our solutions. Finding ways to sped up the design process so you can go from scans to BIM in moments, not days or weeks. Interested in finding out more about how we do that? Click the link below and schedule your demo today! https://lnkd.in/gQ-DPGjW #reimagineengineering #engineer #engineering #digitaltwin #civilengineering #architect #3dcad #engineerproblems #engineeringsoftware #fileconversion #3dmodel

A clubhouse for ambitious Builders, Creators, Entrepreneurs. House 831 🏡 Curated membership, exclusive member-only perks, fireside chats, mastermind sessions, and co-working coffee shop style. Located in the heart of 17th ave. The big unlock with House 831 is the intersection of Creatives and Tech. People like Ralph Sadowski (Shopify, Uber, Neo) colliding with Scott Bakken (Content creator, Community builder and 750K+ across Insta/TikTok) 💪 It's where the kernels of the best companies in Calgary will come from. A house of learnings, good conversation, curiosity, creativity and hard work. It's important to note that the co-working aspect is "co-working, coffee shop style". We have limited desk space. Only 10 tables for 50 members. But that's ok. House 831 isn't meant to be a place to do an 8 hour day of laptop work. It's a space to drop-in for a mind-meld session, record a podcast in the studio, grab a coffee, and get exclusive access to events. ☕ 🎙 🧠 Some events will be curated, but open to the broader community (like Katherine, Nina, Nyle and Philippe's Run Club) 🏃‍♂️ Some events will be Members or Members +1 only. Intimate lunches, off-the-record fireside chats and backyard concerts. Members can host their own events too. After all, this is your house. 🔥 Want to be a House 831 member? Apply through the link in the comments 👇 This is Calgary 2.0. Long Calgary 🚀 https://lnkd.in/gCR8bR-h
