What is the Innovation Atlas of Canada™?

The Innovation Atlas of Canada™ is a new product from RE$EARCH Infosource Inc. This powerful tool provides users with a comprehensive visual picture of research and innovation information in Canada. The Atlas also contains a portal for benchmarking key data on input, output and impact measures for research universities across Canada.

Use of the Atlas is through subscription or customized data/reports and consulting services. It is a tremendous resource for competitive intelligence, policy studies, marketing, partnership development and benchmarking, just to name a few uses.

Map Innovation in Canada

See Canadian Innovation as Never Before. The Innovation Atlas of Canada™ answers three basic questions about research and innovation in Canada: Who? Is doing What? Where? The novel idea behind the Atlas is to provide users with a comprehensive visual picture of research and innovation information in all sectors, and display it on maps of varying level of detail. The power of the Atlas is that it provides a “one-stop” source of authoritative data and information on corporate, university, college, hospital, government and non-profit research activities across Canada … right down to the street level. Quantitative data is available at the national, provincial and city levels for over 100 locations.
