Working with our membership, ITAC establishes and sets targets for where Canada's knowledge economy should be compared to key peer/competitor nations. Where we fall short, ITAC determines what we need to do to get there and ensure we do what is needed in areas such as: skills, capital, tax, science & technology, and collaboration.
ITAC believes Canadian businesses should be leaders in the use of ICT for competitive advantage, productivity and growth. Use of ICT by small and medium enterprises should increase towards that of our US counterparts. By partnering with other associations, as well as with Government, we work to ensure public policy supports these goals.
ITAC strives to ensure Federal, Ontario and other Canadian Governments are leaders in ICT use. ITAC positions itself as a trusted advisor to Government. We gather industry leaders and Government together and work to make it easier for our industry to sell to government.
ITAC believes the Canadian healthcare system should be a world-leading user of ICT to achieve superior patient outcomes and cost-effectiveness, as well as fostering development of a world-leading Canadian health ICT industry. ITAC works to correct chronic under-spend on ICT.
ITAC’s view is Canada’s laws should promote leadership in development and use of advanced technology. We want to ensure efficient and cost-effective measures to protect privacy and instill confidence in the e-economy.
ITAC believes that in order for Canada to continue to compete worldwide, we need to promote policies that will ensure a steady supply of talented men and women for our local ICT industry. We work with industry as well as with Federal, Provincial and local governments to establish initiatives to support this goal.

ITAC - SMC Special Event! Co-hosted by C2MI, Bromont & 3IT, Sherbrooke
Thanks to significant private and public investment, the Eastern Townships Region of Quebec is fast becoming a hotbed of microelectronics and nanotechnology discovery, development and innovation. To experience some of this first hand, the Information Technology Association of Canada (ITAC) and the Strategic Microsystems Council (SMC) have organized a special event in the fall: A visit to the MiQro Innovation Collaborative Center (C2MI) and the Institute for Interdisciplinary Innovations in Technology (3IT).
When:
November 5th, 2012
Where:
C2MI, Bromont; 3IT, Sherbrooke
Hosts:
Vincent Fortin, Vice-President, Business Development, C2MI
Gordon Harling, Director, Business Development - ICT & Micro- Nanotechnologies, Sherbrooke Innopole
Registration:
ITAC Members: $45.00 + GST
Non-members: $65.00 + GST
For more information, contact: Micheline LePage, mlepage@itac.ca
C2MI strives to create world-class expertise in 200mm-based microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and 3D wafer level packaging (WLP). It also does this in regards to advanced technologies associated with the assembly and packaging of silicon chips in addition to embedded systems. C2MI's role is to help produce market-driven prototypes in the fields of ICT applications, automobile, aerospace as well as environment and health to accelerate their commercialization.
3IT, formerly the Center of Excellence in Information Engineering (CEGI), is an engine and a showcase for innovative practices in academic and industrial research. Socially and economically responsible, 3IT accelerates technology transfer in strategic sectors including medical technologies, information and communication technologies, transportation, and energy.
So, please join us On Monday, November 5th, for this tour of two of Canada's top technology centers to find out how your company can leverage the investments being made to allow Canadian companies to have access to world class capabilities and share your company's insights into competing in a global economy with "made in Canada" technology. This special tour package includes transportation to and from Bromont and Sherbrooke, lunch, and a special opportunity to sample some of the best brewery products in the region. As you quaff you can reflect upon the highlights of the day:
At C2MI:
Thank you to the Hosts of this Special Event!
- Seeing technologies that develop the most advanced die-level packaging solutions for faster servers
- Realizing fabrication possibilities through state-of-the art MEMS device and wafer-level packaging (WLP) - microphones, pressure sensors, inertial sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes), micro-fluidic and biomedical devices, etc.
- Viewing the implementation of a complete line for embedded systems assembly
- Getting a better understanding of the advantages of having access to an industry-driven R&D environment as well as the benefits of collaborative R&D activities and access to a complete ecosystem/supply chain
- Business model requirements to accelerate the development phase and launch new innovations faster on the market
At 3IT:
- Viewing a complete production line for research, characterization and fabrication of nano and MEMS devices
- Seeing E-beam direct write and multimodal imaging
- Visiting a multimedia laboratory for the study of ergonomics, biomechanics and sensors in health applications
- Observing advanced assembly and packaging
- Watching the Fab and test for sensors, actuators, microfluidics, energy harvesters, CPV solar cells
