It focuses on two areas where Canada has strong opportunities: therapeutic products and medical technologies. The strategy is framed around economic sovereignty, national security, and retaining scientific talent domestically, reducing reliance on foreign investment while turning Canadian research and IP into globally competitive businesses that improve human health and generate economic impact.
