MAKING THE HEALTH AND LIFE SCIENCES SECTOR ESSENTIAL TO OUR ECONOMY
The diverse health and life sciences sector is aligned with evergreen government priorities such as strengthening the health care system, creating high-paying jobs, “greening” our environment, and developing the knowledge economy. While Ontario has a growing competitive advantage in this sector, government does not yet view the life sciences as essential to our economy.
On May 10, join participants from industry, research, and services to frame Ontario’s health and life sciences sector as a competitive advantage and help develop an effective sector narrative. Featuring a keynote address from Dr. Molly Shoichet, Ontario’s first Chief Scientist.
We are pleased to present this conference in two segments: concurrent morning work sessions in which participants will dig into the big issues impacting the sector and develop recommendations for advocacy; and an afternoon event featuring expert speakers, lively debate, and new ideas for raising the profile of the health and life sciences sector with government and the public. Participants are welcome to register for one or both segments; your ticket also grants you access to the networking cocktail reception.
Presented in partnership with Life Sciences Ontario
