Arthur helps Canadian innovation-driven companies turn government engagement into a competitive advantage.Here's what Arthur has seen from both sides: Large multinationals deploy sophisticated government relations teams to shape the policies, regulations, and funding programs that define the innovation landscape. Meanwhile, Canada's most dynamic innovators—the scale-ups, deep tech companies, and disruptors —are largely absent from those conversations. The result? They compete for contracts, capital, and market access with one hand tied behind their backs.It doesn't have to be this way.
‍
Drawing on 25 years spanning both worlds—driving growth at Equifax and Brookfield, and shaping innovation, commerce, and financing policy as a senior advisor to federal Ministers—Arthur helps innovation-focused organizations unlock procurement opportunities, secure non-dilutive government funding, navigate emerging regulations on disruptive technology, and build the stakeholder coalitions that accelerate market adoption.Arthur gives innovative companies what large multinationals take for granted: the political intelligence, government relationships, and strategic engagement needed to turn public sector opportunity into growth.Innovation moves fast. Your government strategy should too.
