Small companies are responsible for a large majority of scientific or technical innovations. The value of this role is recognized in many ways by governments, investors, and industry organizations. Unfortunately, many small businesses experience find it difficult to access the information, resources, and even investment dollars and government incentives that are designed to foster their support of innovation. In the spirit of the virtual communities which have grown up around open-source software projects, Cielo Systems has created Tech-Community.CA as an community web-site with a focus on innovation in Canadian Small Businesses.
