Medical Innovation Xchange (MIX) is pleased to announce an innovative partnership with the Ontario Ministry of Labour, Training and Skills Development through the Skills Development Fund, to strengthen the provincial health innovation and MedTech ecosystem, build successful domestic MedTech companies and ensure the talent, IP and solutions developed in Ontario can succeed while staying in Ontario.

A $1.6M investment will be made to support talent development and retention within the MedTech sector through a program called the Medical Innovation Knowledge Xchange (MIX-KT). The Skills Development Fund will also help to facilitate the purchase of advanced MedTech equipment to help upskill new and existing talent in the MIX Acceleration Zone (MIX-AZ), a 10,000 square foot MedTech Centre of Excellence located at MIX headquarters in Kitchener. These investments will help to train and upskill up to 400 people in the sector, create and sustain job growth as well as local product development. MIX looks forward to accepting applications for the MIX-KT later this year.
