BUILDING CANADA'S HEALTH CITY TOGETHER
Edmonton is a medical research powerhouse, with a complex health system, a comprehensive post-secondary education sector and a supportive community, that, together, create a powerful competitive advantage as we work to build the city’s health economy.
The global health industry — which includes the makers of pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices and health information technology products — represents over $1.88 trillion dollars in revenues worldwide.
Already the site of many significant health technology launches, including Heptovir/Zeffix, Isotechnika’s anti-rejection drugs, and many others, Edmonton is uniquely positioned to become a global leader in the development, commercialization and diffusion of health innovations due to the presence of numerous health assets.
