The Balsillie Survey will present data and analysis reflecting technology governance and policy-related feedback from Canada’s leading technology leaders. It will provide important empirical data and analyses for both the policy and research communities, as it will underscore the issues that each of the stakeholders must prioritize in order for the technology industry to flourish.
The researchers of this survey are a combination of graduate and PhD students from both Wilfrid Laurier University and the University of Waterloo who are studying at the Balsillie School of International Affairs.
The survey will aim to provide an assessment of Canada’s industrial strategy for technology, the prioritization of the technology sectors, and the enablers of the industry, namely the ecosystem and the connection between moving innovation from research to market.
The survey is being conducted on behalf of the Balsillie School of International Affairs, funded by the BSIA's Technology Governance Initiative.
What to Expect
- Participants can leverage the Balsillie Survey to voice their concerns about the industry.

- Participants in the survey have a chance to win one of three $100 gift certificates from their choice of Arc'teryx or Roots (two great Canadian brands!) or the e-commerce platform Amazon.
