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. This program aims to elevate existing national and international relationships to the next level in collaborative efforts such as:
- Company recruitment
- New product development
- Investment opportunities
- In/out licensing agreements for intellectual property
- R&D collaborations
- Export opportunities
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.
Program Dates: Present – March 17, 2025. All projects must be completed, invoices paid, and claims submitted to Life Sciences Nova Scotia by March 17, 2025.
