This event is essential for Deeptech founders in health and life sciences to understand the practical challenges, regulatory considerations, and partnership opportunities at each stage of commercialization. Attend to gain invaluable, real-world insights from across the spectrum—academia, clinical research, and industry—that will help you navigate and accelerate your own product's path from discovery to delivery.

At this one day event, leaders from biotech, pharma, government, academia, healthcare systems, and capital markets will convene to address the most urgent challenges and transformative opportunities shaping the future of healthcare.
HealthTech Innovation Conference - Apr 21-22
Location
Tannery Event Centre - 151 Charles Street West Kitchener, ON N2G 1H6
This is not a typical conference but a collaborative "unconference" where decision-makers, funders, clinicians, and innovators actively co-create solutions to Canada's most pressing healthcare procurement and funding challenges. Moving beyond discussion to action, this hands-on working session in Kitchener focuses on turning pilots into scalable solutions and transforming procurement into an innovation enabler. Founders should attend to directly engage with the ecosystem that can deploy and fund their technology, breaking through systemic bottlenecks. It’s a critical event for health-tech founders ready to move past theory and work alongside key players to design actionable, impactful pathways to market.
