Total R&D Researchers* (G-7 Countries - 2004)
In key sectors from pharmaceuticals to information technology, Canada is a recognized research leader, offering a favourable and supportive R&D environment.
A qualified work force at competitive costs, an excellent education system, generous tax incentives, effective government programs, close scientific collaboration between the public and the private sector and the availability of state-of-the-art laboratories are the reasons why top international companies have established R&D facilities in Canada.
