The nature of activities performed by SDTC are governed by its Funding Agreement which is periodically updated and requires detailed discussions between SDTC and the Government of Canada. In addition, in order to ensure that our activities are complementary to initiatives undertaken by the Government, it is necessary for us to solicit information on various departmental programs that are either earlier or later in the innovation chain compared to SDTC's mandate. | ||||
