ABOUT JUSTIN MOORES

Known as a champion for innovation and entrepreneurship and a seasoned advocate for the national and international funding of research and development ventures, I strongly believe in Canadian technologies and innovations. With good humour and a mind for strategy, it is my goal to support organizations, products, and services that can provide practical social and economic benefits on a national and international stage. I demonstrate effective management of projects of varying size and often with multiple conflicting priorities. I excel in business development, technology transfer, and intellectual property (IP) negotiations to enhance the commercial applicability of IP and position new technologies for early-stage investment. I drive the development of innovative products and services in many domains including Life Sciences, Oceans, Cleantech, Information and Communications Technologies, Engineering, and Advanced Manufacturing.
