Greater Vancouver Board of Trade The Future of Life Sciences in Canada: Growing Sustainable Anchor Companies

The hallmark of a successful life sciences sector and global player is the existence of anchor companies that demonstrate market share, brand recognition, and a track record of sustained success. They interact with other companies and organizations within a life sciences cluster and act as a bridge, connecting regional and global networks of partners, suppliers, customers, and stakeholders.

Developing anchor companies brings significant economic advantages including capital formation and mobility, talent attraction and mobility, intellectual property development, and the translation of knowledge from academia to industry – a myriad of reasons advocating for the development of more anchor companies in Canada to build a stronger life science industry.

Join us for a presentation by Gordon C. McCauley, President & CEO of adMare BioInnovations to review the key findings of their whitepaper, Canada’s Evolving Life Sciences Industry: Exploring Ecosystems, Clusters, and the Need for Anchor Companies, followed by a panel discussion with industry leaders on the challenges, opportunities, and solutions for the development of Canadian innovation clusters.
