EDMONTON, October 23, 2024 \u2013\u00a0MEDTEQ+<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0AGE-WELL<\/a>\u00a0proudly announce the first 16 collaborative projects resulting from an unprecedented national mobilization through envisAGE, an initiative created to propel Canada to the forefront of the AgeTech sector and foster quality aging nationwide.<\/p>\n

Each project brings together a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) with a later-stage technological solution, an envisAGE Beachhead\u2122 or an Innovation Hub, experts that will assess the integration of the solution, and a Community Lab, such as an organization working with seniors and caregivers, in a real-world setting where the solution will be implemented.<\/p>\n

In all, the projects involve 16 SMEs and 11 organizations across Canada and will receive a combination of funding, expert coaching, and supportive resources through envisAGE to grow and scale innovations and ensure they meet the needs of older adults.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cInnovations in AgeTech are helping seniors age with dignity. By investing in these new technologies and developments, we\u2019re helping Canadian seniors age on their terms and supporting the continued growth of Canadian businesses and start-ups.\u201d Said the Honourable Steven MacKinnon, Minister of Labour and Seniors<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cOur government wants to ensure the best possible health and wellness outcomes for Canada\u2019s seniors, and leveraging innovation is key to achieving this goal. These first projects from envisAGE, demonstrate the power of collaboration to quickly grow small businesses at the cutting-edge of AgeTech, into the industry leaders of tomorrow. This investment will help to ensure Canada remains a world leader in this sector, and that Canadian seniors continue to benefit from innovations.\u201d said the Honourable Fran\u00e7ois-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry of Canada.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The total ecosystem investment in these 16 projects amounts to almost $20M, including contributions from collaborative partners and $5M through the envisAGE initiative which is supported by the Government of Canada\u2019s Strategic Innovation Fund.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to support these projects that enable SMEs to deliver solutions directly to older adults, caregivers, and health care and service providers, while mobilizing industrial, academic, clinical and community sectors across Canada. This shows that together, we can make a real difference in our quality of life as we age and that technology should be among the solutions,\u201d said Sabrina Boutin, Executive Director of envisAGE and Vice President of MEDTEQ+.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe truly collaborative nature of these projects is critical to driving success, achieving impact, accelerating access to innovation, and building Canada\u2019s leadership in the AgeTech sector,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
