Our panel of experts will dig into the current state of developing and retaining IP in Canada and explore what changes could be in store.
Amidst the heightened focus on incentivizing R&D by G7 nations, the Canadian tax framework is grappling to keep pace. The government has initiated consultations to address this pressing deficit by fostering more Intellectual Property (IP) generated by Canadian enterprises. To shed light on this shift unfolding within Canada’s IP landscape, we’ve gathered a panel of Canadian IP advisors, venture capitalists and entrepreneurs to share their insights.
Join us for an insightful and engaging discussion at the Grant Thornton LLP offices in downtown Toronto. Together, we’ll explore topics such as the importance of retaining IP within Canada, financial support that can help you fuel commercialization, strategies designed to help you finance business expansion and fortify IP and what IP consultations could mean for your business and Canadian innovation.
When: Wednesday, May 15th, 4:00-6:30 PM ET
Where: 200 King St. W., 21st floor, Toronto, ON
