Thank you, @BioAlberta, for inviting us to join this important conversation. Patients need to be at the centre of Canada’s life sciences strategy, not consulted after decisions are made. Alberta can lead by advancing the Task Force recommendations with #patients included.
Powered by @innovativemeds, this panel brings together industry leaders that participated on Canada’s National Pharmaceutical Task Force. The panelists identified the necessity for national coordination in order for Canada’s pharmaceutical and health sector to compete globally.

A new collaboration between members of the Clinical Trials Alberta initiative, including the @UAlberta, @UCalgary, @ABInnovates and @AcuteCareAB aims to accelerate clinical trial start-up times across Alberta, helping patients access promising new treatments sooner.
The Alberta FAST program aims to reduce the time it takes to begin recruiting patients from more than 90 days to 45.

Charles Brown, IMC’s Director of Government Affairs, West, and Olivier Jerome, Director of Pan-Canada Stakeholder Relations, were pleased to attend the annual @Bioalberta Health and Life Sciences Showcase (HLSS) in Edmonton.
The event brought together leaders from across Alberta’s health and life sciences ecosystem to spotlight the province’s strengths and explore future opportunities. Panel discussions covered topics such as artificial intelligence in healthcare, global market expansion, real-world evidence, investment trends, and the future of life sciences in Canada.
As a proud sponsor, IMC was honoured to support a program that fostered critical discussions and celebrated Alberta’s innovators.
Thank you to BioAlberta for hosting such an impactful event and for showcasing Alberta’s growing role in shaping the future of health innovation.

Congratulations to our member @ArthritisSoc for funding this innovative screening program to improve early detection of hip dysplasia in infants here in Alberta. A fascinating discussion highlighting real-world impact on patient outcomes. #AI #DDH #PediatricHealth
Continuing in the space of #AI and driving patient outcomes, the next panel highlighted screening of infants for Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH). Sponsored by the @ArthritisSoc, the panel identified the necessity of using technologies and AI to detect and prevent DDH.

Important insights from @Bioalberta 's Robb Stoddard: while tech startups need $500K for Series A, #LifeSciences companies need $2-8M with 8-14 year timelines. #Alberta has the talent - we need more patient #capital that understands this sector.
