The Vision is a world in which every good idea has an equitable opportunity for success and in which every business, regardless of size, can compete for good ideas on a level playing field. In this world, ideas at varying stages of development are exchanged between inventors, promoters, developers and distributors based upon their needs, interests and capacities, to expedite speed to market and to minimize economic waste. And participants in the marketplace are provided information and tools to make better decisions. At the heart of it all is Techlink Innovation Exchange, a not-for-profit established in 2015, which gathers the data and creates the marketplace by providing, on a sustainable, non-profit and even-handed basis, Marketplace Services to those seeking to part with ideas and Member Services to those able to advance them.
The Canadian Innovation Centre (CIC) is a national, not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping innovators, inventors and entrepreneurs transform their ideas into market successes. Since its founding over 35 years ago, the Centre has provided its expertise to over 20,000 innovators and their companies.
