In the fast-paced, ever-evolving medical technology (medtech) world, innovation often grabs headlines with cutting-edge products and groundbreaking solutions. It’s undeniably exciting, isn’t it? Yet, behind every breakthrough lies an equally compelling story–one of collaboration, dedication, and human ingenuity. Technology may be the star of the show, but it’s the people who envision, create, and bring it to life that truly make it extraordinary.

Last month, we hosted the annual Medventions Toronto Innovation Day(MTID) with 137 in-person attendees convening at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre (Sunnybrook). This event was a great opportunity for aspiring innovators to learn, network, and connect with prominent leaders from the image-guided therapy sector, some of whom were Medventions program alumni themselves.

It is with great pride that we announce the return of Medventions Toronto Innovation Day after a three-year hiatus. The 2024 Medventions Toronto Innovation Day will occur on Monday, October 21 at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre.

Today, Medventions Atlantic, the second official program in Canada, launched with 12 inaugural fellows embarking on the program. Founded in 2016 by Sunnybrook Research Institute (SRI) in Toronto, Medventions is hospital-based commercialization-focused fellowship program designed to equip motivated science, medicine, and engineering students with the proper business acumen to fuel Canada’s medtech sector.
