The CORE Innovation pathway: three overlapping spheres of business, research and healthcare, with a winding path of companies travelling from ideation to adoption. The pathway moves through Ideation, Invention, Research & Development, Commercialization, Scale, Implementation & Adoption.
Bringing clarity to chaos
The risk of doing nothing
Bridging the health innovation pathway
Canada funds health research and stops at the point a company would earn its first revenue.1
We carry innovations the rest of the way, into a health system that buys them, bringing Speed, Clarity and Expertise. No one crosses alone.
Our value proposition
Unlocking innovation's potential to improve health and healthcare.
We are uniquely tailored to move health and healthcare innovations forward along the path from invention to adoption. We meet you where you are on your innovation journey and guide you towards success.1
CORE Innovation operates from inside the health system, giving companies direct access to clinicians, patients and hospital procurement pathways. No other innovation program in Ontario provides this combination.
