UHN Commercialization is committed to converting our top-tier science into products and treatments with the potential to impact patients worldwide. To this end, UHN’s technology incubation model includes in-house accelerator programs offering significant capital to help early-stage technologies advance to the point of commercialization readiness.
Programs such as the Innovation Accelerator, in partnership with the Princess Margaret Cancer Foundation and UHN Foundation, help researchers close funding gaps between research funding received from grant and government sources, and the significant private-sector investments needed to de-risk discoveries in order to bring new therapies and technologies to the people who need them.
The Innovation Accelerator has been established to overcome barriers to research translation. Its objective is to accelerate research discoveries at UHN to demonstrate commercial applicability to potential industry partners and/or investors.
A maximum contribution of $250,000 is available per proposal. Eligible researchers are currently those affiliated with any of UHN's research institutes. You can learn more here or by contacting us at: IAFinfo@uhn.ca.
