Damon Goodwin and Jeff White on how to improve innovation in New Brunswick

Damon Goodwin and Jeff White are tired of New Brunswick being the least research-intensive province in Canada. Damon, the CEO of Research NB, and Jeff, the CEO of the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation, join Don and David on this week’s Insights podcast to talk about recent changes to the innovation ecosystem in the province and how the new model should accelerate research investment and innovation.  The Conference Board of Canada gave New Brunswick a D- on its provincial innovation report card.  Damon and Jeff have ideas on how we can start bringing home better report cards in the future.
