Envisioning a health ecosystem

A core goal of the IHI is to accelerate knowledge transfer and the commercialization of health innovation by building upon the current health ecosystem where public and private partners can engage with students and researchers to create new businesses, products and services.

This will position Saint John as a national hub for health innovation in Atlantic Canada.

With proximity to key health partners, innovators and entrepreneurs can work alongside UNB students and faculty, research scientists and clinicians.

This synergistic environment will foster discussions between people who otherwise would never run into each other, leading to innovations.
