Important Notes

1. Verification: All contact information was gathered from official government websites and verified sources as of late 2024.

2. Regional Variations: Some countries have multiple agencies handling innovation (e.g., the United States has both the Department of Energy and NSF, while Canada has both ISED and NRC).

3. Language Considerations: While most departments have English-speaking staff, contacting them in their native language may expedite responses.

4. Time Zones: When calling, please consider the appropriate time zones for each country.

5. Updates: Government contact information can change with new administrations or reorganizations. It's recommended to verify current contact details on official websites before making contact.

This directory represents major economies and research-active nations worldwide. For countries not listed, similar information can typically be found on their respective government websites under ministries of science, technology, education, or innovation.
