About Simcoe County, Barrie and Orillia

Leaders in community health, medical device manufacturers, and emerging industries are driving growth in the life sciences and med-tech sectors in Simcoe County, Barrie, and Orillia. The region’s life sciences sector is anchored by the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre (RVH) and is home to the headquarters of national and international med-tech innovators. The area is also home to leading education programs developed to fuel growth in this sector, including applied, graduate, post-graduate, and professional development programs offered at Georgian College and Lakehead University,  along with RVH’s partnerships with the University of Toronto and York University. This well-developed network of advanced manufacturers, academic institutions, dedicated government stakeholders, and business innovation services is crucial to growing the regional sector and driving new innovations.

Access to the region’s strategic transportation network allows products and supplies to be shipped to and from the area with ease. Additionally, clients, customers, and the workforce can navigate to, from, and throughout the region easily and conveniently. Surrounded by Georgian Bay, Lake Couchiching, and Lake Simcoe, the area also offers convenient and fun livability and is only a short drive from both the Greater Toronto Area and the cottage country.

 

About Ottawa:

Ottawa is home to two universities (Carleton University and the University of Ottawa), two colleges (Algonquin College and College La Cité), the National Research Council Canada, six research hospitals, and more than 130 companies. Invest Ottawa helps to grow and build businesses in the region. The Technology Access Centre in Bio-Innovation (TAC-B) at College La Cité is one of 60 TACs across the country that support commercial innovation. Besides industrial and agricultural biotechnology, the TAC-B supports innovation in health biotechnology through collaborative research projects. We look forward to describing the Life Sciences landscape in Ottawa, explaining how the TAC-B supports biotechnology companies (with specialized grants and while keeping none of the IP), even outside Ottawa, and hearing from a few of our industrial partners. The speakers will include Kim Ryell (Invest Ottawa), Ken Lawless (University of Ottawa), Michelle Bamji-Mirza (College La Cite – TAC-B), Stephen Hanson (Spiderwort), and Thinh Nguyen (Gene RxN).
