Thank you for the question.
As I mentioned, a lot of our universities do have incubator programs where they work to pair up.... All of our universities have tech transfer offices, where they encourage researchers to commercialize their technology and they connect them with potential business funders, but there are, of course, a number of barriers to Canada's innovation ecosystem. One of them absolutely is capital, but talent is also really key.
Finding ways that we can grow that talent pool of really highly qualified advanced talent that's innovative and knows how to perform that research is another key step, and that is really the part that U15 universities are trying to support. That's core to our mandate, which is education.
