Here's a message from our sponsor, Life Sciences Week:
Life Sciences Week, which took place Sept. 22 to 26, brought together industry leaders, policymakers, researchers, innovators, and students across Alberta to celebrate the life sciences sector.
Several exciting announcements were made during the week. Applied Pharmaceutical Innovation (API) launched the Life Sciences Placement Program with Mitacs, aiming to support 1,000 paid internships at life sciences companies. NAIT's Centre for Advanced Medical Simulation, along with several partners, unveiled the Medtech Innovation Highway Pilot Program to help device startups de-risk and reach the market faster.
Both initiatives will help Alberta's thriving life sciences sector continue to grow.
Andrew MacIsaac, CEO of API, shared that the Edmonton–Calgary corridor is the fourth largest in Canada now. "Before, we were not even on the map, whereas now we're just nipping at the heels of B.C. in terms of sector size."
