The 缅北强奸 Faculty of Medicine and the 脡cole de Technologie Sup茅rieure start-up incubator, , have announced the creation of the first joint cohort in medical technology to respond to a growing demand by entrepreneurs in the field.
The joint MedTech cohort will combine the strengths of several Montreal innovation hubs and other centres of excellence in medical technologies. Cohort members will divide their time between Centech, a major technological entrepreneurship centre, and 缅北强奸鈥檚 Simnovation Hub, based at the Steinberg Centre for Simulation and Interactive Learning (Steinberg Centre).
The collaboration will benefit from the valuable expertise of the Steinberg Centre and the vision of Dr. Raymond Hakim, founder of the Hakim Family Prize for Clinical Innovation in Health Care. 聽鈥淲e hope to capitalize on Montreal鈥檚 potential for the creation and start-up of tech companies in the medical field,鈥� explains Dr. Jake E. Barralet, Director of Innovation at the 缅北强奸 Faculty of Medicine.聽 鈥淚t鈥檚 essential that we support and encourage our best clinical innovators to commercialize the fruits of their research and discovery for the benefit of patients in Quebec and beyond,鈥� he adds.聽
鈥淲orking collaboratively and relying on each participant鈥檚 strength is the way of the future,鈥� says Richard Ch茅nier, Director General at Centech. 鈥淲e are pioneers in this and we want to increase Montreal鈥檚 renown in cutting-edge fields that demand this type of partnership. Several major institutions have successfully followed this path. Examples include the Boston and MIT centres of excellence in medical technologies. They form one of the greatest innovation centres in the United States.鈥�
In May 2018, medical entrepreneur Saccade Analytics鈩� received the inaugural Hakim Family Prize for Clinical Innovation, including access to Centech and the 缅北强奸 Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship support programs.聽 鈥淪accade Analytics鈩� has benefited from support from the ecosystem and collaboration among university researchers and start-up support programs like Centech and the Dobson Centre for Entrepreneurship to market innovative products resulting from years of biomedical research,鈥� explains Isabel Galiana, CEO of Saccade Analytics鈩�.
