The Canadian Forum for Social Innovation aims to advance Canada’s innovation agenda by creating alignment and exploring key actions on policies and practices that build capacity for innovation across all zones of impact: social, cultural, environmental and economic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a social learning exercise, the Forum is designed to facilitate cross-sectoral conversations around priority actions to bolster Canada\u2019s innovation ecosystem. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024 Canadian the Canadian Forum for Social Innovation led a pan-Canadian, multi-phase bilingual back-casting exercise that spanned consultations with community funders, higher education leaders as well as social and public sector policy- and decison-makers in Toronto, Ottawa\/Wakfield, Montr\u00e9al, and Calgary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

In 2040, Canada\u2019s innovation strategy is intentionally serving communities, and policies are in place across the ecosystem that build the knowledge, talent and infrastructure to equally support social, cultural, environmental and economic prosperity across all zones of impact: social, economic, political and systemic.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The vision we proposed for deliberation at the second edition of the Canadian Forum for Social Innovation on 11-12 June 2024 at the University of Montreal was buttressed by 53 milestones, around 3 themes: policy, talent and connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
