Federal government investing $950MM into superclusters to drive growth, prosperity, jobs
and global leadership.
A collaboration of large and small companies, technology adopters and
providers, universities, colleges, Indigenous peoples and not-for-profit
organizations to turn ideas into solutions that can be brought to market.
Superclusters encourage and leverage investment in new areas and
strengthen supply chains through partnerships with private sector, post-secondary, innovation intermediaries
and government.
