Discover Entrepreneurship for Cardiovascular Health

ECHO Discovery – our entrepreneurship in cardiovascular research program – looks a bit different this year. We’ve teamed up with the Temerty Faculty of Medicine at the University of Toronto to deliver a new Lab2Market Discover program focused on cardiovascular health!

Building on ECHO Discovery, the program aims to train researchers, faculty members, clinicians, and trainees to advance innovations for heart failure care. Over 10 weeks, participants from across Canada will have the opportunity to gain insights into the commercial potential of their academic research, hear from leaders in the field through fireside chats, and develop a new way of thinking – one that connects innovation to real-world problems.

The program will be run virtually, with sessions taking place on Tuesdays at 2-4PM from February 10th to April 14th, 2026.

Applications close January 12th, 2026.
