Abstract: Abstract Canada is one of the industrialized economies in the G101 and a member of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).2 The country was ranked 7th in the 2013 International Institute for Management Development (IMD) world competitiveness ranking and was ranked 14th according to 2013 World Economic Forum (WEF) Global Competitiveness Index. The competitiveness of Canada is largely innovation-driven, with the support of government policies for technology financing. This chapter will explore government financing programs and mechanisms of technology commercialization that drive the economic development of Canada.
