Newsletters
We publish two newsletters.
Innovation now is a monthly publication that showcases how Canadian research is changing lives.
The cutting-edge projects we support across the country not only produce real benefits for people everywhere, but they also result in inspiring stories of Canadian innovation. Read the current issue or browse through past issues by clicking on the drop-down menu below or subscribe to receive this monthly newsletter in your inbox.
We also send out quarterly emails to vice presidents of research at CFI-funded institutions. These dispatches update our business contacts at CFI-funded institutions on our most recent business activities.
