Purpose
Grow and advance a thriving and self-sustaining health innovation ecosystem, that will support and retain the growth and success of local health tech companies around the Health Sciences Campus. The project will capitalize on the strong pipeline of health tech companies that is emerging in southwestern Ontario to connect them with an integrated suite of services ranging from mentorship and business advisory services, support for health tech product development, and access to specialized labs and clinical trial spaces at the University of Waterloo’s planned Innovation Arena and at Western University. It will combine the digital technology acceleration strengths of the Waterloo Region with the research hospital based assets of the London region to provide seamless support to both early-stage and scaling firms.
