Innovation Impacts: Measurement and Assessment
The Expert Panel on the Socio-economic Impacts of Innovation Investments
It is widely accepted and understood that innovation is critical to economic competitiveness and social progress. To ensure that innovation investments are spent most effectively and remain a priority in the face of public austerity measures, it is essential that decision-makers obtain the most reliable estimates of the impacts of innovation investments. To help prepare for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation asked the Council of Canadian Academies (CCA) to assess best practices in measuring the socio-economic impacts of government spending on research and innovation activities that could be applied in the Ontario context.
