Its biotechnology sector has grown into the country’s second-largest high-tech industry, with strengths in areas such as biopharmaceuticals, bio-agriculture, bioenergy, and nanotechnology. From the invention of insulin in 1921 to the discovery of hematopoietic stem cells in 2011, and now as a cradle for artificial intelligence technologies, Canada has become a vibrant international hub for innovation in the life sciences. Ontario and Quebec, Canada’s largest provincial economies, account for nearly 60% of the national GDP and boast numerous areas of expertise in the healthcare industry.
During the roadshow, representatives from the Ontario Government’s China Office and the Quebec Government Office in Beijing will introduce the business environments for the healthcare industries in their respective provinces. They will also facilitate corporate project presentations and Q&A sessions to comprehensively showcase national strengths and innovative corporate technologies, while seeking investment and cooperation opportunities between Ontario, Quebec, and China in the healthcare sector.
