The early-stage life sciences companies at the OBIO® Investment Summit highlighted the vibrant nature and talent present in the Canadian community. The forum is exceptional with many companies aligned with our strategic offerings and several that brought what we consider to be industry-changing technology. What we have in the Canadian life sciences market is a true gem built on incredible talent, science, public funding and private partnerships, and Bayer is proud to be part of that ecosystem.
