Unlocking Growth Opportunities for Canada's Innovation Economy

March 3, 2017

The Advancing Innovation Roundtable, a 12-member independent working group, last week published its recommendations report on how to increase access to growth capital for Canadian innovation companies as they progress beyond the seed and startup stages. Funded by TMX Group, the Roundtable is a private sector initiative bringing together leaders across the financial services industry, including finance, investment and capital formation.

Formed in October 2016, the Roundtable is a unique, investor-led collaborative effort that is directly aimed at improving the capital supply for growth stage companies, creating better conditions for their development in both private and public markets, and strengthening the infrastructure needed to support Canada's innovation ecosystem more broadly.

Advancing Innovation Roundtable

The Roundtable recommendations are organized into three categories: 1) institutional capital, 2) public markets and 3) ecosystem foundations. Each recommendation is supported by specific, viable proposals that are actionable immediately.
