MIDAS and Toronto Global are excited to host this event where the University of Manchester and the University of Toronto will announce the launch of a new Joint Translational Centre for Digital Health which aims to advance digitally-enabled health technologies. Both Greater Manchester and the Toronto Region represent great investment locations for digital health companies to locate and scale up.
The Joint Centre will establish a community of researchers, businesses, and healthcare providers, strengthening the collaboration between academia and business in Canada and the UK to realise the development, implementation, and translation of digital health innovation.
