Health Innovation Hub<\/h1>\n\n\n

The Health Innovation Hub facilitates early-stage entrepreneurs with translation and commercialization of ideas into problem-solving products and services for health matters. It works to align, connect, and leverage the significant mass of life science research expertise, facilities, programs and University funding, and H2i\u2019s vast partner and mentoring network towards advancing effective and efficient health innovation ventures. H2i provides open and flexible educational and mentorship opportunities, tailored to the individual start-up using a 4 level cohort-based gradient (moving companies from Level 1: Education to Level 2: Discovery, and then onto monetizing in Level 3: Venture, and finally growth in Level 4: Scaling). H2i serves as a conduit for innovation throughout the Toronto Academic Health Science Network.
