What is the Canadian Life Science and Technology Park?
Overview
What is the Canadian Life Science and Technology Park
Imagine a consolidated life science and technology park home to the start-up and commercial sized companies who are adapting digital strategies to the unique context of development and manufacturing. In other words, it is the introduction to true partnership, more connectivity, increased productivity, simplified compliance and ability to leverage production information to respond to problems as they emerge.
Why do we need the Canadian Life Science and Technology Park
Because Canada and the world need change. We need change in how we do business locally and globally by one – providing a special economic zone easing the way for entrepreneurs to blaze their trail, two – improving the way we work together where competition is secondary and partnership is primary, third – enabling organizations with a product lifecycle to leverage the full potential of digitalization to provide faster therapeutic innovations and improved production processes for the benefit of patients.
