THE 8-80 COLLABORATIVE
Directly supporting the development and commercialization of health-tech innovation
The 8-80 Collaborative directly supports innovators and companies in developing and commercializing technologies that deliver health solutions for patients from youth to older adults. Supported by the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), the 8-80 Collaborative is a partnership between the CHEO Research Institute and Bruyère. Together we support companies pursuing innovations aimed at those young and old, from eight seconds to more than 80 years.
What the 8-80 Collaborative offers
Our support focuses on advancing the product development and commercialization goals of the companies we work with – companies that have innovative solutions to challenges facing our healthcare system. It ranges from a comprehensive package of services to help early-stage innovators develop their technology and business to more focused support for established companies wishing to engage CHEO and/or Bruyère on the development, validation, or procurement of an innovative product or service.
