FUNDING COMMITTEE
Business, Entreprises
En cours, On going
To stimulate the growth of companies in the life sciences and health technologies (LSHT) sector, Montréal InVivo has created the Financing Committee. This committee’s mission is to work on improving conditions that facilitate access to funding for entrepreneurs in the sector through targeted and concrete actions.
Our Actions
- Analyzing the LSHT financing ecosystem
We are conducting an in-depth study of the financing chain in LSHT over the past 10 years. This study will update data from previous reports conducted by Montréal InVivo, BIOQuébec, and Réseau Capital. Quebec’s data will be compared with that of Ontario and British Columbia. In addition to statistical data, the study will offer perspectives and recommendations for the future. - Mapping funding sources
We are developing a comprehensive map of financing organizations active in Quebec. This tool will identify key players and their preferred investment focus areas. The map will be made available on Montréal InVivo’s website and shared with business support organizations.
- Raising awareness among entrepreneurs about funding options
We support entrepreneurs by informing them about the various funding opportunities available at each stage of development. Thanks to the funding map, they will be able to quickly identify relevant partners to support their growth. - Creating networking opportunities between investors and entrepreneurs
We will organize targeted matchmaking events between investors and LSHT companies to foster collaboration and maximize investment opportunities.
Our Objectives
- Update sector financing data and provide recommendations
We are analyzing the funding ecosystem and establishing a clear picture of the current state to propose ways to improve it and support the sustainable growth of the sector. - Foster connections between investors and entrepreneurs
We are increasing opportunities for collaboration to facilitate financing and support companies in reaching their full potential.
