That's a great question.
Research is all to do with discovering new things, with creating new knowledge. Innovation implies some application. Innovation is something that a lot has been written about in Canadian terms, and we're missing some stuff in the innovation piece, the innovation continuum. We have this great research that gets a bit stuck in our academic institutions, and we don't have enough tools to pull that out into use.
That's what we're trying to do in our own little field of genomics. We're trying to do it not only in human health, but in agriculture and agrifood, in fish and fisheries, and in forestry. We're working with the users of that technology in each of those areas to try to facilitate true innovation. Innovation implies application.
