Health & Life Sciences Partnerships Initiative
Event Overview
The initiative will bring together the health & life science industry, post-secondary institutions, foundations and agnostic sectors, to partner on their R&D pipeline, sponsored research opportunities, and identify aligned research paths. We are excited to announce we have multiple MNEs in health & life sciences who will present on collaboration, commercialization, and aspects of acquisition. The event is organized in collaboration with Alberta Innovates, BioAlberta and MedTech Canada.
The event is open to everyone in the ecosystem.
