Cantana researches how artificial intelligence is changing Canadian work, business and competitiveness, and helps Canadians act on what we learn.
Canada is home to some of the world's leading AI researchers, institutions and companies. But research alone does not create economic advantage.
Cantana exists to close the gap between what AI makes possible and what Canadians actually put to work.
Where Cantana works: the gap between research and adoption.
