description: • Significant economic spin-off benefits will occur in Canada from the construction and operation of a world-class KAON Factory including: • New products and markets for construction and operations suppliers • Establishment of new ventures • Attraction of new companies to Canada • Industrial diversification • Direct sales from the KAON Factory itself • Commercialization of KAON research • Scientific tourism and conferences • Increased university enrollment in the sciences • Research evidence from other world scale scientific research facilities such as CERN, ESA and NASA confirms that such opportunities and benefits take one or two decades to completely unfold. • Very preliminary estimates show that in the order of $485 million of economic spin-off benefits will occur over a period of 15 years from expenditures on medium to high technology products and services for a KAON Factory. • It also appears that the magnitude of KAON related opportunities can be increased and the timing of their occurrence can be accelerated with an overall impact in the range of $48 million through the application of appropriate strategies, plans and programs. • A clear message from study research is that the mandate of a KAON Factory must include the maximization of local, regional and national economic opportunities resulting from the construction and operation of the facility. It is projected that over the ten years commencing with its construction, the KAON Factory will consume over $900 million of goods and services. It has been demonstrated by other international research programs/facilities that the creation of this market for sophisticated products and services possibly supported by other government expenditures and programs (e.g. defense spending, health care research, funding of other scientific research, etc.), is a very effective strategy for fostering industrial growth, innovation, and international competitiveness. • In fact two results may be achieved with each dollar of expe…
