Innovation \u2013 and all the benefits engendered \u2013 comes from people. However, what makes the great ideas of creative scientists come true and gain space in people\u2019s lives is the possibility to have a propitious environment to develop their projects. More than physical spaces such as laboratories, researchers need a more robust structure, able to support their work, promote exchange with other specialists and also assist them in attracting investments \u2013 this is the role of The Coolest Hotspot, a platform created to support innovative initiatives in Life Sciences and Health Technology, LSHT. <\/p>\n

The Coolest Hotspot is an umbrella initiative led by Quebec Life Sciences and Health Technologies (LSHT) sector players aiming to represent the ecosystem with an outlook toward regional promotion for investment attraction. The initiative brings together industry partners, local economic development and investment promotion agencies, as well as research organizations committed to advancing the LSHT area, increasing its international reach, visibility, and competitiveness \u2013 all as a way to consolidate some of the government objectives outlined in the Quebec Life Sciences Strategy 2017-2027. <\/p>\n

The government recognizes the importance of the LSHT industry in Quebec, which is why it created the 2017-2027 Quebec Life Sciences Strategy. This ambitious plan aims to attract $4 billion in private investment to Quebec by 2022 and to make the province one of the sector\u2019s five largest North American hubs by 2027. <\/p>\n

Everything indicates that the achievement of this goal is going in great strides, because today the province is already a world-renowned scientific excellence hub combining key expertise for the future: Biopharmaceuticals, Medical Technologies, and Digital Health with expertise in artificial intelligence (AI) and deep learning \u2013 segments in which Qu\u00e9bec has international recognition.<\/p>\n

Such prestige is only possible thanks to several factors that contribute to the attractiveness of the province. Life sciences and health technologies play an important economic role, in addition to producing numerous innovations and contributing to improving people\u2019s quality of life. In Quebec, this sector is currently thriving. It includes stakeholders from various backgrounds who work together to make fascinating discoveries, generate new, cutting-edge applications, and develop innovative therapies. The members of Quebec\u2019s ecosystem operate in synergy \u2013 namely through networks and agreements \u2013 to create a robust and internationally-recognized industry. The development of health innovations is a major activity in Quebec.<\/p>\n

Quebec is also The Coolest Talent Pool, recognized as the best student spot in the Americas comprising of highly creative, educated, and multilingual workforce with 10,000 graduate students per year in health-related programs.<\/p>\n

The interest is also explained by the strategic location of the province with privileged access to the world\u2019s two biggest free-trade zones: The North American market, with close to 500 million consumers, and the European market, with over 500 million consumers. Overall, Quebec has a unique interconnected, thriving, and collaborative ecosystem in connection with international business corridor with main hub in Life Sciences; an innovation ecosystem built for the future and is the destination of choice for world leaders of health. The medical technology segment (medtech) represents 40% of all jobs and more than 50% of companies in the LSHT sector.<\/p>\n

\u201cQu\u00e9bec and Brazil are complementary partners fostering innovation and developing collaborative projects in the Life Sciences and Health Technology sectors. Quebec and Brazilian institutions have established fruitful partnerships over the years, and The Coolest Hotspot platform will help stimulate the exchange of experiences between the two regions, as well as contribute to fostering greater commercial rapprochement between our companies,\u201d says Jason Naud, director of the Qu\u00e9bec Office in S\u00e3o Paulo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Healthy Startups<\/h3>\n

Innovation in life sciences has increasingly been in alignment with the development of scientific and technological innovation, including artificial intelligence applied to health. As Qu\u00e9bec stands out as the world leader in AI and Deep Learning, many biotechnology and medicine researchers seek the benefits that only a dynamic ecosystem where scientific genius and new ideas become reality can offer, creating consortiums to accelerate the integration of innovations into the health system. Considered a global leader in AI, Montreal hosts two of the most relevant entities in the industry that work synergistically: Mila \u2013 Institut qu\u00e9b\u00e9cois d\u2019intelligence artificielle, an AI research institute that brings together experienced researchers, produces a multitude of influential discoveries and acts as an incubator for startups that arise from the development of new technologies \u2013 and IVADO, a Qu\u00e9bec-wide collaborative institute in the field of digital intelligence, dedicated to transforming new scientific discoveries into concrete applications and benefits for all of society.<\/p>\n
