Knowledge mobilization:
Awareness about emerging technologies and support for public policies

Numana’s activities take a two-pronged approach to connecting our industry to society by 1) mobilizing knowledge about our information and communications technology industry and 2) supporting governments in the creation of public policies.

How do we mobilize knowledge and
support public policies?

Knowledge mobilization is how an industry both increases its visibility and helps different audiences understand what it does. While our technology intelligence solution provides information for experts, our knowledge mobilization and public policy activities showcase local initiatives on the international stage and foster understanding in the ecosystems that use information and communications technologies.

While it is becoming more and more important for society to become digitally literate, emerging technologies are nevertheless often based on little-understood and complex scientific concepts. Getting Quebec’s ecosystems to adopt these technologies means exposing people to these concepts or to alternative ways of using technologies.

Public policy plays an essential role in technological innovation, as governments are the ones responsible for producing laws and frameworks for emerging technologies.

However, since our government representatives cannot be experts in every field, conversations with businesses are vital. This will help the government identify new disruptive technologies and create frameworks that account for the sector’s realities.

Our knowledge mobilization
and public policy activities

We play a crucial advisory role for public policy-makers to ensure that the sector’s needs are aligned with developed policies. With our innovation research and technology intelligence, we can help public policy-makers account for future challenges and include new technologies in their frameworks.

As it is also vital to promote the technological and social innovations that emerge from our ecosystems, we organize and contribute to a number of events throughout the year to help develop this culture of foresight and experimentation.

Who are these activities for?

We reach almost every kind of organization through our publications, studies and events. If you have a question about a particular issue or point that we talk about, write to us or come talk to us at an event. You never know: we may be able to help you prepare a talk or training course for your ecosystem!
