Summary of Innovation Fund Activity
Since Inception in 2004

In 2004 the IISD Innovation Fund was established to receive contributions that are to be used in developing new ideas for a better world and to meet the needs of the future. The Innovation Fund provides IISD researchers with intellectual venture capital to push the boundaries of innovation with a flexibility that is typically not present in conventional funding mechanisms.
