Technology companies say they need action, not just talk, from political parties to support innovation sector GlobeTechnology

Carol Leaman, CEO of Axonify, says Canadian technology companies need politicians 'to be talking about long-term prosperity,' not just paying 'lip service' to the concept. .Canadian technology companies are pressing the federal parties to address what they say is a lack of policies to support the country’s homegrown innovation sector.

While the Liberal government introduced innovation-related measures including funding for superclusters, artificial intelligence and clean technology, the innovation economy has barely figured in the election.

The scant campaign talk about innovation amounts to “a lack of substance in terms of sophistication compared with what we see in other technology- and data-driven economies” said Pierre Chamberland, chief energizing officer of Montreal data compliance software company NetGovern Inc. “The elephant in the room ... is that none of the parties are really addressing the underlying issue, nor have successive governments, of wealth creation.

“We’re at the precipice of the economy changing and we need leaders from whichever political party ultimately forms government really understanding the importance of the innovation economy in terms of our future prosperity,” CCI executive director Benjamin Bergen said. “This is where real wealth generation will come from. If we don’t solve this, we’re not going to be able to pay for the social programs we care about.
