BIOQuébec and Life Sciences Ontario (LSO), two leading life sciences associations, are proud to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enhance collaboration and foster growth across Québec and Ontario. In today’s economic climate, strengthening interprovincial partnerships is crucial to driving innovation, resilience, and new opportunities in the life sciences sector.
This initiative represents a significant step toward strengthening the life sciences sector between Ontario and Québec. Reducing interprovincial barriers and improving business environment will create new opportunities for growth and success among member organizations. Enhanced connectivity and collaboration between the two provinces will foster stronger cross-provincial partnerships, driving innovation and reinforcing Canada’s position as a global leader in life sciences.
"LSO and BIOQuébec's long-standing relationship over the years has evolved into a formal alliance that will directly benefit our members and strengthen Canada's life sciences sector as a whole. Now, more than ever, we need to work closely across provincial borders to make Canadian life sciences globally competitive. By combining our strengths, we're creating opportunities for our sector to collaborate, and our collective impact on healthcare and economic growth to be maximized."
– Jason Field, President and CEO of Life Sciences Ontario
"This collaboration establishes a strategic alliance between Québec and Ontario’s life sciences ecosystems, facilitating greater collaboration and expanding access to resources, networks, and market opportunities. By working together, we are providing our members with the tools and support they need to succeed in a globally competitive industry, driving innovation, and contributing to the continued growth of Canada’s life sciences sector."
