1. Introduction: Why TRIZ for National Economic Strategy?
Traditional economic policy tools—taxation, regulation, monetary policy—are necessary but insufficient. The challenges of 2025 require structured innovation, systemic problem solving, and contradiction resolution, which is exactly what TRIZ enables.
According to TRIZ for Dummies, every system evolves toward increasing ideality—maximizing benefits while reducing costs and harmful effects. TRIZ provides:
- Function analysis
- Contradiction identification
- Inventive principles
- System evolution trends
- Resource analysis
- Structured creativity tools
These frameworks help governments and industries think like inventors—not bureaucrats. When applied to national economies, TRIZ transforms abstract economic issues into solvable engineering problems.
2. Economic Overview: Canada and India in 2025
2.1 Canada’s Economic Situation
Canada faces structural inefficiencies affecting productivity and growth:
- Declining productivity relative to G7 averages
- Aging population and shrinking workforce participation
- Rising healthcare spending
- Dependence on natural resources (oil/gas, minerals, forestry)
- Slow SME digital transformation
- Geographic spread increasing logistics costs
- Housing affordability crisis impacting labor mobility
Canada’s economy must transition from resource-heavy to innovation-heavy, focusing on AI, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and biotech.
2.2 India’s Economic Situation
India is the world’s fastest-growing major economy, but growth is constrained by structural contradictions:
- Underemployment of STEM graduates
- Skill mismatch between universities and industry
- Infrastructure bottlenecks
- Low R&D expenditure compared to global leaders
- Large rural–urban digital and economic divides
- Agriculture inefficiencies
- Energy grid instability
However, India also has unparalleled resources:
a massive youth population, world-leading digital public infrastructure, and a fast-emerging manufacturing base.
