This keynote will explore how a bold biotech startup grew from a local idea to a multi-million-dollar venture-backed company, and what that journey reveals about Alberta’s growing innovation and advanced manufacturing ecosystem.

Dr. Anderson-Baron will share lessons learned on:

• Building momentum while scaling in a competitive market

• Staying connected to customers and solving real problems

• Leveraging Edmonton’s scientific, entrepreneurial, and investment communities to fuel growth

With Alberta rapidly positioning itself as a manufacturing hub for life sciences, this session offers insights into what’s driving success today, and what’s next for innovators looking to make their mark.
