More than one study has shown Canada is not seen as innovative in the world’s eyes – an Accenture study last year concluded that Canada lags behind other G20 nations in fostering digital platform innovation, and the World Intellectual Property Organization’s Global Innovation Index placed Canada in 15th place among the world’s 25 most innovative nations in 2016.
Canada’s ranking in the World Bank’s Ease of Doing Business report has dropped to 22nd from 14th the previous year. Also, in a recent survey of large firms, the Business Council of Canada found that 64 percent of CEOs said Canada’s investment climate had worsened in the last five years, noting growth in the tax and regulatory burden.
As a not for profit organization, CATAAlliance is advancing Core Policy Planks linked to advocacy Campaigns and recommendations which will address these challenges and boost Canada’s ranking as a Competitive Innovation Nation.

Our technology driven world is once again altering how business is done. It means firms must become 4.0 organizations. Klaus Schwab, founder of the World Economic Forum says the Fourth Industrial Revolution is a “second machine age” where there is a fusion of technologies that further merges the physical, digital, and biological worlds.
Ottawa, ON...CATAAlliance (www.cata.ca). Canada’s One Voice for Innovation advocacy group, announced today the adoption and adaption of technologies and solutions to create a 4.0 business model to help companies better compete in the marketplace.
CATA CEO, John Reid said, “ A 4.0 organization never crests as it is constantly developing and strengthening its “change muscle” with new technologies and methodologies. At CATA we looked at what we do and applied the 4.0 approach. Our team asked themselves what are the technologies and resources that will let us supply the best products and services to the marketplace and then created the 4.0 model.”
He added, “Our goal is unchanged – to be Canada’s One Voice for innovation advocacy. However, by embracing the 4.0 technologies we can better mobilize the community to get behind public policies that will boost Canada’s success at innovation and competitiveness. In addition we can now offer improved services to companies dealing with the day to day problems they face. “
Opening the Door to CATA 4.0 Delivered Services
Reid concluded, “If you are not sure how your firm can tackle a 4.0 world then join with CATA, take advantage of our services, listen to our expert interviews, use CATA as a guide on implementing change in your firm. In addition, help us to bring 4.0 to the attention of our nation’s policy makers.”
