Science and technology in Canada

Science and technology in Canada consists of three distinct but closely related phenomena:

  • the diffusion of technology in Canada
  • scientific research in Canada
  • innovation, invention and industrial research in Canada
The Canadian-built space station robotic arm (right), referred to as Canadarm2, transferred its launch cradle over to Endeavour's Canadian-built robotic arm, referred to as Canadarm

In 2018, Canada spent approximately C$34.5 billion on domestic research and development, of which around $2 billion was spent directly by the federal government in-house and an additional $5.7 billion was provided by provincial and federal sources in the form of grants.[1]
