Mitacs and Scotiabank

Lab2Market NSERC program

How to Apply: 
Canada continues to be a global research leader in numerous fields, ranking 6th in published research impact. This is driven by its world-leading talent and infrastructure. However, Canada’s ability to convert these research achievements into commercial applications that generate economic wealth continues to fall short in comparison to other countries.
 
Lab2Market was developed to address this gap and improve Canada’s research commercialization performance. The program does this by supporting researchers in the early stages of development, providing the resources, training, and guidance needed to take their innovations to market.
