BioAlberta was thrilled to be celebrate our 25th anniversary this year at our Annual Health and Life Sciences Showcase and Dinner! Our event happened during Global Biotech week when the city was buzzing with Life Sciences events.
The day portion was filled with insightful panel discussions from leaders in the life sciences community. Our panel discussion topics included:
- Value Based Medicine
- Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Precision Medicine
- Pathaways – Developing Indigenous Partnerships to Improve Health Outcomes
- Alberta’s Talent Challenge – Growing the Skills and Capacity of Alberta’s Life Science Sector
During the day we also showcased our first Innovation Investment Panel where 12 companies presented their companies to investors from across North America and met 1-1 with them. This resulted in numerous positive conversations, some of which we hope to see flourish into collaborations.
We kickstarted the day portion of our event with a presentation from our keynote speaker, Isadore Day, CEO, Bimaadzwin, who spoke on Nationhood rights and Sovereignty; and specifically, the improvement in First Nation health, social, economy conditions of current and future generations.
