Innovation and Tech
Growing a more inclusive economy and lasting prosperity through innovation, while harnessing technology responsibly.
Canada’s platform for bold policies and better leaders.
Our name means ‘raised platform.’
A dais (day-es) is a place that illuminates the people on it.
And it reminds us that real change only happens when we lift new voices and ideas.

From origins of blockchain technology decades ago to earliest use cases of digital or e-cash and the introduction of Bitcoin as the first cryptocurrency in 2008, few could have predicted the cultural phenomenon and dramatic market growth for crypto-assets of the last few years — or the dramatic and wrenching collapse of crypto-asset values and firms last year.
Join our team as Partnerships Manager, and help us grow our impact as Canada’s platform for bold policies and better leaders. We’re looking for an entrepreneurial leader and collaborator who brings a broad network and proven experience developing strong cross-sector relationships.
Social media platforms have, in many ways, become a new public square, where people in Canada and around the world connect and engage in society and our democracy. Increasingly, though, the platforms and their algorithms have also been weaponized by ill-intentioned actors to spread conspiracy theories and extremism, and to target marginalized people with hate and harassment.
What we work on
Tackling the biggest challenges facing Canada.
Education and Skills
Ensuring that our education and training systems are equitably preparing Canadians to thrive in a changing world.
Democracy and Trust
Better equipping a broader set of leaders to advance positive policy change and rebuild trust in public institutions.
All public purpose institutions must address both reconciliation with Indigenous peoples and the existential threat of climate change. For us, these cross-cutting topics influence everything we do.
What we do
Bold ideas + deliberate action = impact.
Policy and research
Lead in-depth, applied policy research and analysis that informs and inspires action on the most urgent challenges facing Canada.
Leadership development
Equip leaders, and aspiring leaders, with the knowledge and skills they need to make positive change in their organizations, institutions and communities.
Community-building and convening
Connect people to thousands of others who are working together to build a more inclusive, innovative and prosperous Canada.
