Ep 87 – Canadian Innovation Week 2023

Happy Canadian Innovation Week!

Yearlong Innovation Saskatchewan supports the incredible ingenuity of Saskatchewan's innovation ecosystem, and Canadian Innovation Week gives us a special opportunity to ensure the inspiring stories and phenomenal successes of the Saskatchewan tech sector and research community are shared beyond our provincial borders.

Today we're celebrating #InnovateForHealth by exploring the groundbreaking contributions of Saskatchewan-based research institutes and their significant impact on the lives of Canadians and people around the world.

Dr. Volker Gerdts, Director and CEO of Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization (VIDO), talks about VIDO's role as Canada's centre for pandemic research and as a world leader in infectious disease research.

Patrick Odnokon, CEO of Saskatchewan Health Research Foundation (SHRF), talks about SHRF's role in supporting health research and making it accessible to everyone in the province.

Dr. John Root, Executive Director of Sylvia Fedoruk Canadian Centre for Nuclear Innovation, talks about how the Fedoruk Centre helps improves the health and well-being of our communities through nuclear methods and innovations.

The Startupville podcast is brought to you by Innovation Saskatchewan and was recorded in our recording studio inside Collider Saskatoon – Saskatchewan's only tech and research co-working space.
