Build new, collaborative partnerships on an international scale, to help grow your life sciences business.
At Life Sciences Nova Scotia, we believe that forging strong relationships between business and research contacts on national, international, and global levels is essential for showcasing our sector’s capabilities and establishing long-term partnerships for local organizations and our community. To this end, Life Sciences Nova Scotia is excited to introduce our Biopartnering Program.
Accelerating Life Science Companies by Building International Relationships
Our Biopartnering Program offers financial assistance to help Nova Scotia life sciences companies and research organizations further develop international business and research connections.

The ideal project involves a new business opportunity that benefits not only your organization but also has the potential to contribute to the growth of Atlantic Canada’s life sciences community.
