Bring Your Innovation to the National Stage

Canada’s healthcare system is facing sustained pressure across three critical fronts: rising and often avoidable costs, constrained hospital capacity and patient flow, and inequitable access to care. Across the country, there are solutions ready to make a meaningful impact—if they can reach the right partners, decision-makers, and pathways to scale.

In response, the National Healthcare Innovation Council, in partnership with HealthPRO Canada, is launching the inaugural Healthcare Innovation Den—a national stage for commercially ready Canadian healthcare innovators to present bold, scalable solutions aligned to defined system priorities.

Selected innovators will present live before a national judging panel and an audience of 700+ healthcare executives, procurement leaders, and system decision-makers—competing for prize funding and the opportunity to access structured procurement pathways and advance toward national scale.

Together, they will evaluate innovations that are commercially ready, procurement viable, and positioned to deliver measurable system-level impact.
