SUMMARY:The Canadian Standard of Living\, Productivity and Innovation Lecture Series: Core Productivity Drivers and Diagnostics
DESCRIPTION:This event is part of the CIGI Speaker Series The Canadian Standard of Living\, Productivity and Innovation hosted by the Centre for International Innovation. \n\n\n\nProductivity\, innovation adoption and standard of living are intrinsically linked. Due to lagging productivity\, Canada’s standard of living has dramatically declined\, particularly in the last two decades — a trend felt by individuals\, communities and businesses across the country. \n\n\n\nIn this lecture\, Growth Lab Director Ricardo Hausmann will examine how emerging forces including new technologies\, alongside enduring factors such as natural resources\, are reshaping productivity\, prosperity and Canada’s economic trajectory. \n\n\n\nThis hybrid event will be followed by a discussion with CIGI Senior Fellow Vass Bednar and closing remarks from physicist\, inventor\, entrepreneur and philanthropist Savvas Chamberlain. \n\n\n\nWhether you are attending online or in-person\, please RSVP. In-person attendees are invited to arrive at 5:00 p.m. UDT for networking and refreshments. The lecture will begin promptly at 5:45 p.m. UDT (8:45 p.m. EST) for online and in-person attendees.  \n\n\n\nAbout the lecture series:\n\n\n\nThe Canadian Standard of Living\, Productivity and Innovation lecture series\, sponsored by Savvas Chamberlain and presented by the Centre for International Governance Innovation (CIGI)\, brings together CEOs\, financiers\, manufacturers\, policy makers and influencers\, empowering them to champion the adoption of innovation — a critical step in reversing Canada’s productivity decline. \n\n\n\nEach lecture will feature a keynote presentation from a distinguished global or Canadian speaker\, followed by a forward-looking discussion focused on practical pathways for change\, highlighting how individual\, institutional and policy choices can shape Canada’s long-term economic performance and prosperity. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n  Share
