July 11, 2016 - The C.D. Howe Institute is pleased to join the Global Trade and Innovation Policy Alliance, a new network of think-tanks that highlights and cross-pollinates member organizations’ work on trade, globalization, and innovation policy. The Alliance will look to creating opportunities to collaborate on events, research and reports, and policy development on topics related to maximizing the benefits of trade and global innovation, with a view to fostering improved standards of living in more-developed and less-developed countries alike.
The C.D. Howe Institute will be the founding Canadian representative in the Alliance, initially comprising think-tanks from the United States, China, India, the United Kingdom, Mexico, Sweden, Poland, Belgium and Colombia.
“This platform for collaboration with other major think-tanks around the world, dedicated to education and fostering debates on policy issues around raising standards of living, will help enhance the reach and depth of Institute research in areas that have a strong international component – notably trade, investment and innovation policies. This includes fostering a better, evidence-based understanding of how Canadians can best take advantage of global trends,” said C.D. Howe Institute President Bill Robson.
