We have IDEaS Marketplace,
my favorite event of the year

00:00:05.756 --> 00:00:09.510 align:center line:-2
because it brings together
so many incredible innovators

00:00:09.510 --> 00:00:12.429 align:center line:-2
from across the country
and to me really showcases

00:00:12.429 --> 00:00:15.265 align:center line:-2
the incredible talent
that we have here in Canada.

00:00:15.265 --> 00:00:18.143 align:center line:-2
And that's
our competitive advantage.

00:00:18.143 --> 00:00:19.937 align:center line:-1
That's our gem as Canadians.

00:00:19.937 --> 00:00:22.731 align:center line:-2
And it's something
that we should celebrate.

00:00:32.824 --> 00:00:34.660 align:center line:-1
We are proud of the successes

00:00:34.660 --> 00:00:36.912 align:center line:-2
that you enabled
in the IDEaS program

00:00:36.912 --> 00:00:39.748 align:center line:-2
and where we've been able
to not just exploit

00:00:39.748 --> 00:00:42.292 align:center line:-1
but also learn in the process.

00:00:42.292 --> 00:00:44.419 align:center line:-2
I think if we have
the right North Star

00:00:44.419 --> 00:00:47.130 align:center line:-2
through the right innovation,
the right potential

00:00:47.130 --> 00:00:49.633 align:center line:-2
and opportunities, you're going
to show us the way.

00:00:49.633 --> 00:00:51.885 align:center line:-2
That's why we value
this program.

00:00:59.101 --> 00:01:00.894 align:center line:-2
What's most interesting
to me is really

00:01:00.894 --> 00:01:03.605 align:center line:-2
the direct interaction with
innovators, because sometimes,

00:01:03.605 --> 00:01:05.566 align:center line:-2
as a manager, you don't
necessarily get the chance

00:01:05.566 --> 00:01:08.193 align:center line:-2
to handle the equipment
or talk to people,

00:01:08.193 --> 00:01:11.154 align:center line:-2
so this is a truly unique
opportunity for me.

00:01:11.154 --> 00:01:13.240 align:center line:-2
It's just been a great
opportunity to talk to,

00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:15.117 align:center line:-1
you know, a wide audience.

00:01:15.117 --> 00:01:17.744 align:center line:-2
We've got the military here,
we've got other scientists,

00:01:17.744 --> 00:01:20.122 align:center line:-2
we've got people from all over
and just getting

00:01:20.122 --> 00:01:22.749 align:center line:-2
those different perspectives
on, you know, where we fit

00:01:22.749 --> 00:01:26.503 align:center line:-2
into the solution and, and
moving these systems forward.

00:01:26.503 --> 00:01:29.047 align:center line:-1
It has been a great success.

00:01:29.047 --> 00:01:32.134 align:center line:-2
We have had lots of people
visiting us, asking questions,

00:01:32.134 --> 00:01:36.763 align:center line:-2
sharing contact information
and looking for collaboration.

00:01:36.763 --> 00:01:38.932 align:center line:-2
So, it has been
a successful event.

00:01:38.932 --> 00:01:41.727 align:center line:-1
The event is really great.

00:01:41.727 --> 00:01:44.479 align:center line:-2
It's a good place
for collaboration

00:01:44.479 --> 00:01:46.732 align:center line:-2
and for meeting more people,
to show them

00:01:46.732 --> 00:01:49.276 align:center line:-2
how our technology here
at the University of Ottawa

00:01:49.276 --> 00:01:51.528 align:center line:-2
can be applied
to solve problems.

00:01:51.528 --> 00:01:54.114 align:center line:-2
It's really exciting to see like
really strong representation

00:01:54.114 --> 00:01:56.033 align:center line:-1
from the Canadian Armed Forces,

00:01:56.033 --> 00:01:58.243 align:center line:-2
the various companies
that are here

00:01:58.243 --> 00:02:00.662 align:center line:-2
and a lot of people that are
really interested in talking

00:02:00.662 --> 00:02:02.623 align:center line:-2
about technology
and learning more

00:02:02.623 --> 00:02:05.000 align:center line:-2
