Synapse Life Science Competition Applications Open

Applications for the 3rd annual Synapse Life Science Competition are now open!

Synapse is a competition for innovators in the life sciences to take the first step towards commercializing their ideas. From January to April 2016, successful applicants will move through a series of milestones including preparing an Executive Summary, crafting a Commercialization Plan, and even getting the opportunity to pitch their ideas to investors and leaders in the life sciences at the final showcase on April 6, 2016. Last year’s prizes included over $35,000 in cash and in-kind prizes, and this year is shaping up to be even bigger!

We are currently looking for researchers, doctors, nurses, entrepreneurs and others with ideas in med-tech, medical devices, therapeutics, diagnostics, and more, who are interested in turning their ideas into a business, as well as 4th year or post-graduate students from McMaster University, who want to gain the real-world experience of working with emerging life sciences innovators to help their companies grow.

Please help us to promote the life sciences in Hamilton, and to support local entrepreneurs who are changing the future of healthcare by encouraging innovators and students to apply at http://www.synapselifescience.com/apply. Applications for both students and innovators are open from October 1 to November 9 at 5pm.
