Technology Strategy

FWCO is leading the development of a comprehensive technology strategy for the Province of British Columbia that outlines priorities, commitments and goals of the government, industry and other key stakeholders in promoting development of the technology industry.  The technology strategy will:

 

n        Use the results of recent research to identify, analyze and prioritize the key issues facing the province.

 

n        Present a vision and set of objectives that represent targets for the enablement and growth of the technology industry in British Columbia. The objectives will be actionable, time-bound and measurable. The objectives will focus on a range, or cross-section, of issues such as employment, revenues, R&D, technology transfer including commercialization, trade development, academic programs and enrolment including graduate students, taxation including tax credits, access to capital, human resource development, and infrastructure.

 

n       Define the strategies that will be implemented towards achievement of these objectives. The strategies will represent commitments of time, resources and money.

 

n       Outline specific actions and initiatives, consistent with the stated strategies, for each of the identified objectives. The action plans will define responsibilities, resource requirements and timelines. The plan will also assign responsibility for the development of these detailed action plans to be implemented under the strategy.
