Create a process in the cluster with accountabilities/responsibilities:
- allows outsiders to see how the cluster works
- reduces bureaucracy for cluster participants
Develop a collaborative & innovation ecosystem supportive of commercialization:
- supportive government agencies (federal, provincial and municipal)
- innovation ecosystem with Colleges, Universities and Research Parks
- focused business accelerator able to invest and contribute to solutions
Work with the cluster actors to decrease barriers and create incentives for commercialization Connect and collaborate outside the cluster with industry and academia Recognize indigenous peoples in Canada as key players in resource-based projects
Building Strong and Sustainable Ecosystems
Best practices to create successful clusters
