“With the creation of a specialized cohort in the field of medical technologies, we are able to meet the heavy demand in the Montréal market. Currently, 25% of Centech start-ups operate in this field,” said Centech’s General Director Richard Chénier.

Mr. Steven Arless, a successful entrepreneur in biomedical technologies, was hired as entrepreneur-in-residence for this new cohort. He will be charged with supervising entrepreneurs in this field so that they can benefit from his vast experience and knowledge. He is also one of the professors in the Surgery Innovation micro-program given jointly by McGill University, École de technologie supérieure (ÉTS) and Concordia University.

These Med Tech entrepreneurs will have access to a pool of experts and a unique network in Montreal, be it ÉTS laboratories and research chairs and other major medical academic institutions, medical schools, or successful business leaders and entrepreneurs in the technological and medical fields. A true spirit of collaboration has developed between the major Montreal medical and technological authorities, providing world-class support in the development of these start-up businesses.

The Med Tech cohort is open to all medical innovation entrepreneurs, regardless of their origin or academic affiliation. April 6, 2018, is the next deadline to submit projects for the S-18 cohort, which will include entrepreneurs from all technology fields.
