Public lecture to focus on N.L.'s technology sector and why engineers make great entrepreneurs
Newfoundland and Labrador’s technology sector is stimulating economic growth and fostering private-sector job creation directly and indirectly through support provided to industries such as health care, oil and gas, mining, energy, fisheries, aquaculture, and more.
Today’s economic activity has shifted to a greater dependence on knowledge production and utilization. Given that knowledge and innovation play increasing roles in fostering economic competitiveness, universities have become essential players in the knowledge economy, acting as catalysts of socio-economic development.
