Montréal InVivo is a network facilitating discussion, mobilization and collaboration for the LSHT ecosystem. We provide unifying leadership of all stakeholders in the Greater Montreal area to fuel and strengthen the sector’s growth, competitiveness and reputation.
As the LSHT cluster of the Greater Montreal area, Montreal InVivo represents close to 600 organizations, including more than 150 research centres and groups, 80 subsidiaries of world-class companies, and more than 41,000 well-paying jobs in the sector. A wellspring of great ideas, the cluster includes four universities and ranks first Canada for the number of research centres. Montréal InVivo oversees approximately 80% of Quebec’s LSHT activity in a sector representing approximately 1.6% of Quebec’s GDP.
Montreal InVivo’s proximity to this one-of-a-kind network is an important asset that can be contributed to the network of DHDP Members. Our organisation also functions as a think tank by mobilizing key stakeholders from the ecosystem to better grasp the issues and opportunities that they face. This understanding, both high-level and granular, can serve as a basis for government representation and for the development and support of structuring initiatives and is also something that Montreal InVivo can contribute toward the success of the DHDP initiative. For example, Montreal InVivo is active on the question of developing talent in the area of data science and AI in LSHT, improving the usability of healthcare information (data access), the acceptability of emerging innovations in AI health for citizens and patients, and the integration of such innovations in the healthcare system.
