  4. BDC offers services for various needs 1 As at March 31, 2012 2 Based on 2008 data from Statistics Canada’s survey of SME financing suppliers, 2009 3 Based on BDC authorizations (direct investments only) versus total industry authorizations taken from Thomson Reuters 4 CSCF = Canadian Secured Credit Facility, outstanding as at February 29, 2012; MSPSO = Multi-Seller Platform for Small Originators, authorizations as at March 31, 2012

  5. BDC is a Crown corporation • Single Shareholder – the Government of Canada • Mandated to be financially sustainable • Mandated to play a complementary role in the marketplace • BDC supports entrepreneurs, and responds to specific Government requests • The Government looks to BDC for “real-life” insights into the world of entrepreneurs

  6. Innovation is a Government priority The Canadian Government wants to create value-added jobs by supporting innovation, with a focus on the ability of high-growth and knowledge-based firms to access capital.

  7. Capital is always needed for growth • Revenue growth requires capital • Growth firms often lack tangible security • Some also lack management skills in marketing, HR • High growth = high risk to many commercial financial institutions When high-growth Canadian firms fail to seek or secure the financing needed to achieve a certain scale: • They are often acquired by larger U.S. or international companies. • Future domestic and international growth is cut short, as are many benefits to the Canadian economy.

  8. VC - More, but smaller, funds Number of GPs per$1 trillion of GDP Average GP fund sizeCA $ Millions 1 2 U.S. Canada 1 Assumes exchange rate of 1.21 CAD/USD 2 Average is inflated by larger funds, such as BDC, Growthworks, Vengrowth, and Fonaction Source: McKinsey analysis based on data from Thomson Reuters, Thomson Financial, Funding Venture Capital Deals for High-Growth Companies in Canada

VC - Less attractive exits Canadian VC-backed companies exiting in the U.S. perform worse than U.S. companiesAverage exit price 2000-2009, CA $ millions Many examples of exhausted funds pushing for early exit Canadian companies exiting in Canada Canadian companies exiting in U.S. U.S. companies exiting in U.S. Source: McKinsey analysis based on data from Thomson Reuters, DatastreamAnalysis excludes impact of any Canadian companies not backed by VC

  12. Strategic investment strategies to fill the innovation financing gap Accelerator Investments Seed/early stage and small fund StrategicFunds • Catalyze emergence of new tech firms • Mentor entrepreneurs and improve their chances of commercialization success • Bridge the seed/early stage gap • Catalyze emerging start-up/innovation clusters • Provide an institutional LP presence in the seed/early stage space • Support high-quality teams capable of bridging the financing/mentoring gaps • Identify, groom and grow new GPs in small funds • Support funds and projects that have compelling national, regional or strategic relevance This framework includes well-defined investment criteria within the context of a national framework with a regional approach.

  16. Scale matters: the larger the SME, the more likely they are to adopt ICT • Adoption rate of enterprise resource planning software packages in Canadian SMEs 19.4% 5-19 EMPLOYEES 33.3% 20-99 EMPLOYEES 51.9% 100-499 EMPLOYEES Source: NetPME 2011 - Use of ICT by Canadian SMEs (Cefrio) October 2011 – 2,000 SMEs surveyed
