- 1. Commercializing the results of research in Canadian universities and hospitals: An update for 2003 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20050038760Geography: CanadaDescription:
In recent years, the Government of Canada has made substantial new investment in university research with research funding of $4.0 billion in 2003. To commercialize their technologies, Canadian universities and hospitals created 64 spin-off companies in 2003, for a total of 876 created to date. This article highlights some of the changes between 2001 and 2003, as well as presenting the latest regional results.

In the context of the progressive depletion of the world's fossil fuel reserves, energy research and development (R&D) is turning towards renewable resources. This article shows a rise during the period 2000 to 2002, compared with the period 1994 to 1996, in the share of R&D dedicated to energy "alternatives", and in particular to renewable energy resources. Between the same periods, expenditures for "traditional" types of energy R&D have fallen.

Measuring industrial research and development interests many analysts of science and technology. Comparing Canada with other G-7 countries is common in other areas. This article links those two concepts and provides highlights.
Release date: 2005-10-26 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20050038769Geography: CanadaDescription:
In Canada, innovative biotechnology firms invest large amounts to develop new biotechnology products and processes. In 2003, they invested nearly $1.5 billion in research and development (R&D). In biotechnology, the development process is long and costly, with no guarantee of success. Some firms that discover a new biotechnology product or process with potential industrial applications may want to protect it against any infringement. The patent is a tool preferred by innovative biotechnology firms to protect their invention. This short article describes the patenting activities of biotechnology firms in 2003 and examines the relationship between patents and funding.
Release date: 2005-10-26 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20050028016Geography: CanadaDescription:
In a recent study using data from the Canadian Survey of Innovation 1999, the authors examined the effect of R&D tax credits on innovation activities of Canadian manufacturing firms. They found positive effects on the propensity of firms to perform R&D activities such the introduction to the market of a new product or process that was a world first. However, there is no significant effect on more general firm performance indicators such as profitability, domestic market share or international market share.

Statistics Canada has been working with NRC-IRAP on a series of projects to better understand the characteristics of growth firms. The first phase of the study concluded that one needed to take into account a company's stage in its lifecycle, its industry and even the "management style" to better understand how these growth factors applied.
Release date: 2005-06-20 - 8. Innovation and industry clusters ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20050028018Geography: CanadaDescription:
Does innovation thrive best in industry clusters? That is, is a company more likely to be innovative if it is located close to many of its rivals? And what role does research at a local university play on industrial innovation? A recent study based on data from a Statistics Canada innovation survey, finds that firms located near their rivals or universities are no more innovative than other firms in the same industry are, except at extremely short distances.
Release date: 2005-06-20 - Articles and reports: 88-003-X20050028020Geography: Canada, Province or territoryDescription:
The Survey of Innovation 2003 surveyed establishments in 36 services industries with a view to better understand innovation in the service sector. The services industries surveyed included information and communications technology industries (ICT); selected professional, scientific and technical services, selected natural resources industries and selected transportation industries. Results from the Survey of Innovation 2003, which examined innovation in selected service industries, show that establishments in ICT service industries are most likely to be innovative. In Canada, the three industries with the highest rates of innovation were all ICT industries.
Release date: 2005-06-20 - 10. Canadian biotechnology activity, 2003 ArchivedArticles and reports: 88-003-X20050028021Geography: CanadaDescription:
Between 1997 and 2003, the number of innovative biotechnology firms rose from 282 to 490. Biotechnology in Canada continued to expand between 2001 and 2003, generating revenues of almost $4 billion. Biotechnology companies have more than quadrupled their revenues since 1997, making biotechnology a fast growing activity.
