Montréal InVivo represents the Life Sciences and Health Technologies (LSHT) cluster of Greater Montréal. We are a non-profit economic development organization that aims to create a business environment propitious to innovation, growth, and competitiveness of public and private organizations in the LSHT sector. We are also recognized for our mobilization force, our voice as a privileged independent interlocutor of the public authorities. Here are some interesting statistics taken from the industry snapshot :
In the LSHT sector, Montreal contributes 79% of the GDP with 4.5 billion out of a total of 5.8 billion for Quebec.
Over the last 2 years, Quebec has attracted over 40% of all venture capital investments in the life sciences sector across Canada.
Quebec ranks 1st in the pharmaceutical, clinical trial management and medical devices sectors.
