IAC Supports Our Members from Coast to Coast
In 2019, Innovation Asset Collective (IAC) was selected by the Federal Government’s Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development (ISED) to receive $30 million in funding to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the data-driven cleantech sector to better leverage IP in their drive to grow to scale and to provide the Government with insight to better support SMEs in this regard going forward.
IAC officially launched in December 2020 as a membership-based not-for-profit.
Vision and Mission
IAC’s vision is to revolutionize the IP ecosystem and how Canadian companies leverage IP strategy to compete and scale.
IAC’s mission is to empower the sustained success of Canadian SMEs through leadership in IP strategy and its use to create global business advantages.
