The Government of Ontario, in partnership with the Canadian Consulate in Sydney, is pleased to invite you to an exclusive webinar focused on life sciences opportunities in Australia and an exciting roadshow to Australia in December 2025.

Australia’s life sciences sector offers significant potential across the biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, MedTech, digital health, and clinical research markets. Backed by world-class research institutions, government incentives like the R&D Tax Incentive, and a highly efficient clinical trials environment, the country is a hub for innovation in drug development, diagnostics, and emerging fields such as regenerative medicine and digital health. With growing global demand and strong regional ties to Asia-Pacific markets, Australia is well-positioned for partnerships, investment, and commercialization in life sciences.
