Innovation in Action
Invention Call for Innovation
Health-tech founders face distinct challenges: regulatory complexity, clinical evaluation, and fragmented systems. These aren't just business hurdles; they're embedded in how health care works. The Invention Call for Innovation is the entry point to a high-impact pathway built to support early-stage Canadian teams tackling exactly that.
How it works
Step 1
4-week Invention Bootcamp
- Refine the business model
- Unlock the potential of your value proposition
- Receive iterative feedback to assess fit for deeper support
Step 2
Invention Studio Session
Top-performing teams are invited into the 6-month Studio Session:
- Tailored mentorship from health-tech industry experts
- Clinical feedback and technical validation
- Fundraising preparation
- Showcase opportunities with clinical champions, partners and funders
Who should apply?
Open to Canadian-based, pre-revenue health-tech companies developing:
- Digital health tools or digitally-enabled medical devices that improve access to care or enable care at home
- Wellness, Class I or Class II devices
- Technologies at TRL 3–6
What to expect
A competitive, high-impact program for founders ready to move quickly and build with purpose. Selected teams begin with the 4-week Bootcamp; top performers then join the Studio Session, six months where strategy meets execution, de-risking the path to market and accelerating growth.
