Innovation Ambassadors will translate their research and clinical experience into products, services, programs, or processes addressing problems in health care.
WE-Spark Health Institute is launching a community of innovators able to respond to problems within the local health-care system.
Made up of researchers and health-care workers from its five partner institutions, the Innovation Ambassadors will be involved in projects to translate their research and clinical experience into products, services, programs, or processes.
The program will offer webinars and networking events to identify and act upon regional health and health care problems, connect with a diverse audience of industry and community partners, and forge partnerships with other innovators in regional ecosystems across Canada and internationally.
Benefits of becoming an Innovation Ambassador include:
- connecting with representatives from provincial, national, and international organizations with specialization in the life sciences and health-care sectors, such as funding, industry partnerships, and talent attraction;
- showcasing your work to the regional community;
- broadening your network through exposure to regional and cross border partners;
- become a role model for the next generation of students interested in getting involved in health-care innovation; and
- joining an exclusive networking group of Innovation Ambassadors, industry partners, and regional contacts.
Those interested in learning about becoming an Innovation Ambassador are invited to a virtual information session at noon Thursday, Nov. 24. Click here to register.
