Safa'a Al-Rais, Canadian Life Science and Technology Park President and CEO
"We want to be that hub, the umbrella that's going to strike the right partnerships with the right tenants and figure out together how to best optimize processes and transition their products from idea to commercial manufacturing."
"Ontario is in desperate need of additional lab space. There's a massive deficit here. There isn't enough manufacturing. The government has been providing quite a lot of support to companies to establish their own manufacturing and expand what they have."
Uzzo Calderaro, Canadian Life Science and Technology Park Founder
"Being the only innovation district in Canada that's designed or that will be designed and built by pharmaceutical folks, people that understand industry, is a way of marrying the real estate developer world with the need for the science community to advance and build something for the future. If you want to see the future, you build it."
