Québec British-Columbia Ontario

Frequently asked
questions:

Yes. However, applications must be submitted by March 1st, 2023, to be included in the first cohort of companies. After the first cohort is selected, applications will be considered on a rolling- basis throughout the year, depending on capacity.

Membership in other commercialization programs or accelerators will be considered on a case by case and in the context of the venture’s plans for technology development and commercialization.

The DD process involves the presentation of the venture’s goals and technology development plan to an internal selection committee under confidentiality. Ventures will also be requested to provide access to data, IP, organizational and business-related materials during the DD process. Each venture should anticipate being in active communication with our team over a two-week period for the DD process.

All Canadian-incorporated companies are invited to apply to the Tx Accelerator. However, we only have wet lab and office spaces available in BC, QC, and ON. Please determine which location is best suited for your company.

Upon acceptance to the Tx Accelerator, each company will enter into an agreement outlining the support that will be provided by the program. Acceptance into the accelerator program does not mean that adMare BioInnovations or its regional partners will automatically provide a direct investment (equity) or continuous funding support for your venture. Direct and in-kind support will be provided to each venture depending on the needs determined at intake.
