Innovate Forward set to kick start ideas and nurture innovation
Each of Innovate Forward’s six sessions are designed around a specific topic, addressed first by Andrew Maxwell, Chief Innovation Officer at the Canadian Innovation Centre, then discussed in practical terms by an industry expert. Tim Scott, Entrepreneur-in-Residence at RIC, is on hand as host, and as part of the program’s support network in his role as an entrepreneur working in the industry. The final component to each session will be a practical demo at Sheridan’s Manufacturing site in Brampton.
