GHIA Alberta Community Event Series
June 1, 2021 @ 8:00 am - June 8, 2021 @ 5:00 pm
Global Healthcare Innovation Academy’s (GHIA) Alberta Community Event Series
Join us as we shine a spotlight on just a few of the Alberta innovation supports and services available for life sciences, digital health, and health care.
Together and with our other university and community partners, we hope to help academics, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and companies bring their ground-breaking discoveries (both social and commercial innovations) to market–to make care better for our communities.
These events are free and open to the public. We look forward to seeing you there!
Hosted by the O’Brien Institute for Public Health’s W21C Research and Innovation Centre, University of Calgary. Thank you to our participating partners: Life Sciences Innovation Hub, Innovate Calgary, Mitacs, Alberta Innovates, Thin Air Labs, Western Economic Diversification.
