Centre for the Advancement of Health Innovation

The Centre for the Advancement of Health Innovations (CAHI) is a joint initiative of The Conference Board of Canada (CBoC) and the Canadian Health Industries Partnership (CHIP). Its mission is to make Canada a world leader in the development and commercialization of health innovations. The centre brings together senior executives from the public and private sectors to explore opportunities to strengthen the innovation environment and bolster our capacity to commercialize our health innovations. It builds on the resources, talent, and commitment of the Conference Board and CHIP.

Centre for the Commercialization of Mining Technologies and Services

The Canadian mining industry is global and its suppliers have benefitted somewhat from that international reach. However, these suppliers are not capitalizing as much as they could from that global market presence. Mining technology research and development is taking place in Canada to improve the efficiency of mining activities and the sector’s environmental stewardship challenges. Such innovations are not reaching their full potential in terms of commercialization at home as well as internationally.
