Creating successful research and development proposals to benefit Small and Medium sized Enterprises

To address this topic, concepts such as Technology Readiness Level, Innovation, and Risk definition and Mitigation will be presented. From a business perspective, how to describe benefits to the firm, stakeholders and Canada will be described.
