What is Technology Roadmapping?

Collaborative, industry-led strategic planning process for developing innovative products and processes to meet future market demandsFeatures face-to-face workshopsKey issue- what technologies can create the needed products and services to meet identified future market demands

How do we get there?

Where do we want to go?

Where are we now ?

Canadian Roadmapping Experiences

Initiated in 199533 completed to date4 currently under developmentBased on a network of partnerships

Over 1000 industrial partners (e.g. Ballard Power Systems; Dupont Canada; Wal-Mart; Hydro-Québec; IBM, and many SMEs)Over 150 non-industry partners (Universities, Research Institutes, Associations)Portfolio partners – NRC, NSERC, CSA, BDCFederal partners – NRCan, HRSDC, CMHC, EC, HC, DFAIT, and DNDProvincial partners – Ontario, Quebec, British Columbia, Alberta, New Brunswick

Soldier Systems TRM Project

Partnership of federal departments (IC, DND and DRDC), industry and academia working to develop a Roadmap with the objectives of:

Supporting the Soldier Modernization EffortProviding DND insights into obtainable technologies/maturity levelsProving industry with opportunity to understand DND needs/demonstrate abilities

Exciting as a first step in a significantly different way of working with industry
