WED's approach to innovation recognizes that innovation occurs at the firm level, through a highly complex interdependent system that includes elements such as knowledge infrastructure, basic and applied research and development, highly skilled people, access to adequate patient financing, technology commercialization facilities, and support systems and mechanisms to link these elements to each other.
En partenariat avec les administrations provinciales, territoriales et locales, les Premières Nations ainsi que le secteur privé, le Programme Infrastructures Canada (PIC) aide à renouveler et à construire des infrastructures dans les municipalités urbaines et rurales partout au Canada.
