While there is creativity, thinking and science across Canada, the Conference Board of Canada reports an \u201cinnovation gap\u201d that is mostly related to commercialization \u2013 the transformation of ideas and knowledge into value. The research and activities undertaken in this project aim to close the knowledge gap that exists around understanding the complex of issues that slow down innovation in the Manitoba Agri-Food sector. This project focuses on innovation in rural Manitoba, a less studied area, where limited information exists about the commercialization aspects of innovation.<\/p>\n
