The Canadian Institute of STEM Innovation (CISI) plays a vital role in driving economic development, both within our borders and across the globe. We believe in the transformative power of STEM innovation as a catalyst for economic prosperity and sustainability, aligning with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Economic development is not a byproduct of our efforts at CISI, but a key objective. We understand the intricate link between STEM advancement and economic prosperity. STEM innovation stimulates economic growth by fostering new industries, creating high-paying jobs, and increasing productivity through technological advancements. Moreover, it helps address critical challenges such as climate change and health crises, contributing to resilient economies.
At CISI, we are proud to be a driving force in the symbiotic relationship between STEM innovation and economic development. As we equip individuals with essential STEM skills, promote cutting-edge research, and advocate for inclusive growth, we are not just shaping the economy of the future – we are ensuring that it is sustainable, inclusive, and resilient, in alignment with the global vision encapsulated by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
Our commitment to driving economic development through STEM aligns closely with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. By harnessing STEM innovation, we contribute to numerous SDGs directly and indirectly:
At the local level, our initiatives and programs stimulate economic activity by providing employment, fostering start-ups, and developing new technologies.
