EDITOR'S NOTE
Canada has a rich history of innovation, but in the next few decades, powerful technological forces will transform the global economy. Large multinational companies have a commanding headstart in the race to succeed, and Canada risks falling behind. At stake is nothing less than the country's prosperity and economic well-being. Innovation Nation sets out to explore what is needed for businesses to flourish and grow. Over the next three months, the Financial Post will talk to some of the innovators, visionaries and scientists on the cutting edge of the new economy about a blueprint for Canadian success.
