The annual life sciences conference also included an announcement that industry group BioNova is rebranding to Life Sciences Nova Scotia.
This year’s BioPort life sciences summit in Halifax came complete not just with a selection of presentations from pre-seed and seed-stage startups, but also an announcement: provincial industry group and conference organizer BioNova is now Life Sciences Nova Scotia.
