The second session, Capturing the Global Market with Canadian Technologies, will present a series of case studies reviewing several made-in-Canada medical technologies, which have gone on to great commercial success internationally, propelling Canada to the forefront of the medical technology space. The afternoon session, Innovation Resources to Help Canadian Companies Go Global, will provide discussions on various local resources and programs, including our Medventions program, that play an important role in getting Canadian innovations to international markets.
