Opportunities and Trends in Innovation and Technology Adoption in Canadian Manufacturing

OVERVIEW
Manufacturers are facing substantial challenges from ongoing environmental, social, economic, and technological changes as well as from the continued effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. To meet these challenges, firms across the globe are speeding up the adoption of automation and digital technologies, helping them to unlock greater value for customers and stay ahead of the competition in today’s increasingly digitally driven economy.
Unfortunately, despite the strong case for prioritizing Industry 4.0 business models, Canada lags behind other industrialized nations when it comes to the adoption of advanced manufacturing technologies. CME remains focused on removing the barriers to growth and lowering the cost and risk of investing in new machinery, equipment, and technologies.
