Bring what you know. Connect with what’s next.
AgeTech LaunchPad Toronto is the front door to U of T expertise and a meeting place for industry, health and care, communities, government, investors and innovators across the GTA.
Innovation happens when people with different perspectives, expertise and resources come together around real-world challenges. Whether you are a company, researcher, health or care organization, community group, government organization, investor or another kind of partner, AgeTech LaunchPad Toronto can help you connect with the people, ideas and opportunities you need to move something forward.
