See agenda
Also, I had a phone call with David last week on Thursday, where we essentially discussed about the length of time it takes to fund this project and the inherent difficulty of coordinating 3 levels of Government. Something to think about at high level, and find better and more agile support solutions if Canada wants to foster disruptive innovation. I shared with David the reality on the ground, when at least 2 years are needed to fund an innovative project: change of focus of the network, which can be disruptive in the long term, demotivation of participants, etc. Out of this conversation came out July meetings agenda that he proposed.
I also have to underline David's commitment to this project and the amount of time he puts into it. I never felt let down, he is really accessible and reactive. The problem is the process, we need to coordinate 3 levels of government, on top of the fact that it is not an easy project to sell, because we are not selling a money making scheme but rather a way to change our economy. There is an extra layer of abstraction there and not everyone in the government or the administration is able to cope with it.
Having said that, following Tim's brilliant idea, I proposed to try another venue to fund the Verdun project. Instead of asking for grants, why don't we ask for mandates, and we can use some of our earnings to advance the Verdun project agenda. We can tackle complex problems that require socio-economic-environmental solutions. For example recycling in cities.
Or sports and well-being in cities
Solutions that require a holistic view generated theough a participatory approach, involving a large diversity of actors/stakeholders.

Hi Tibi,
Thank you for sharing news.
You'll find here a document to comment and improve to link éco2FEST and VOICE to help the 2 projects emerge.
Could you comment the doc? It could be interesting for us to join this doc to our grant applications. ;)

On a separate note, we hear signs of appreciation from MESI for our memo for the collaborative economy.
I hear second hand info that people at the MESI are also discussing the Verdun project. This is very encouraging! Something nice might develop in the following weeks.
