2026 Health & Life Sciences Collaboration Initiative
The UCalgary Health and Life Sciences Collaboration Initiative brings together startups, SMEs and MNEs, researchers, foundations, agnostic sectors for a day of collaboration and exploring new possibilities. The event will also highlight UCalgary spin-off companies, research services, and licensable technologies.
This ecosystem wide event encompasses aspects of collaboration, commercialization, policy, acquisition and market applications of research, and highlights how to partner with companies on their R&D pipeline and identify aligned research paths. Attendees will gain industry insight, seek sponsored research opportunities, explore innovative healthcare solutions and make new connections through multiple networking opportunities. We look forward to welcoming you back to Foothills Campus for a day to explore new collaborations and showcase services and make connections.
The 2025 event saw 380 attendees with 18 industry presentations and we are excited to offer our second iteration of this event again during 2026 Life Sciences Week.
Stay tuned as we announce speakers.
