Institutional Aspirations Carleton aspires to be an intellectual hub for technological, social, and cultural innovation within the National Capital Region and Eastern Ontario, while participating in networks of international scholars dedicated to solving major world challenges. This goal is rooted in Xxxxxxxx’x institutional identity as being established to educate and train students to contribute to a changing economy; an identity that has always differentiated Carleton as it has evolved from a small college to a large, thriving, and innovative comprehensive, research-intensive university. Building on Xxxxxxxx’x well-established experience of collaborating with governments, industries, businesses, organizations, communities, and individuals, we will further the economic, social, and cultural well- being of the region. Currently, these aspirations are focused on several key initiatives that are critical to the prosperity of the region and the province, including: • A high technology hub in partnership with industrial partners centred on smart systems and communications including growth of 5G wireless technology, sensors, and vehicle automation; • A hub for entrepreneurship and social and cultural innovation in partnership with social and cultural organizations, Algonquin College and the City of Ottawa; • A regional development council to support economic, social, and cultural development in the eastern Ontario region and a hub in Cornwall.
