Welcome to the Health Innovation Initiative (HI2)! We are a non-profit organisation founded in Montréal in 2017. Our mission is to strengthen health innovation in Canada. We do this by bridging gaps between academia, industry, clinical practice, government, and community. We create training, networking, and collaboration opportunities for post-secondary students and early career professionals in any field related to health innovation.
Through our experimental process, we host events that emphasize the value of collaboration across traditional boundaries while providing the platform to do so. Interdisciplinary problem solving and effective knowledge translation methods are core elements of these experiments.

"How can we stimulate more innovative solutions to improve human health? There are numerous pathways, including medicine and academic research, but how often do they intersect? The Health Innovation Initiative (or HI2 for short) is a nonprofit organization founded in 2017. We create ways for students and professionals who are passionate about health innovation to cross the boundaries of academia, clinical practice, policy, industry, and more. While we're based in Montreal, we're currently expanding Canada-wide and connecting with universities and businesses and various provinces.
Here's what co-founder, Nevicia, has to say about HI2’s mission: Many of us in the health industry are here because we care about people, and we care about the world around us. HI2 grew out of a desire to take health sciences beyond the lab and translate them into tangible products and services that address names and contribute to society.
How does HI2 engage our audience? For the past three years, we’ve run Health Startup Day, where speakers from different backgrounds, including industry, students, and government give short presentations to discuss leading thoughts and health Innovation. We use this event to facilitate connections through intentional inter and intra-sectoral networking. On a similar wavelength, we began a panel series called Catalysing Collaborations. These events bring together people from various sectors to touch on what's important and health and science-related topics.
Health Innovation initiative creates a space that empowers young researchers, entrepreneurs, and leaders in our communities to push towards innovation through interdisciplinary and intersectoral collaboration. We support a space where science is open, collaboration is abundant, and science communication supports a healthier and more informed population. Check out our website, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to stay up-to-date on all of our upcoming events."
