The Health Innovation Hub has provided our company with critical office and laboratory space which would otherwise be inaccessible to a company at our stage of development. It's awesome to be part of a young and growing community of health and biotech start-ups in Edmonton.

Participating in the program has been a blessing for my healthcare company, because it helped us in so many different areas of validation, strategy, target market, etc.

We're so grateful for the support and resources provided by the Health Innovation Hub. Through the support of our Health Innovation Hub mentors and advisors, we were connected to hiring grant opportunities, community partners, and new business opportunities. The office and lab space has also been absolutely incredible as a home base for our team.
