Effervescence – The Future of Life Sciences Conference is being held in Montreal in person from May 10 to May 12, 2022

EFFERVESCENCE is an annual event that brings together investors, entrepreneurs, scientists, professionals and the next generation of life sciences and health technology professionals to discuss the future of life sciences. Effervescence 2022 is being held at the historic Marché Bonsecours in Montreal live and in person from May 10 to May 12, 2022.

Winner of the Best Conference in Canada 2020 award, EFFERVESCENCE is also a platform that propels innovative initiatives and creates opportunities for connections, collaborations, and partnerships within the Montreal health and life sciences ecosystem, one of the major life sciences and health technologies clusters in North America, as well as across Canada.

EFFERVESCENCE is comprised of various panel discussions, workshops, competitions, flash capsules and a job fair. We are looking forward to many of the interesting panel discussions as well as the always interesting and exciting Pan-Canadian Start-up Pitch Competition.

BML Technology is a proud supporter of EFFERVESCENCE and we are excited to see some of the innovative digital health startups we have the privilege of working with as finalists in this year’s EFFERVESCENCE Pan Canadian Start-Up Pitch Competition. These companies are FemTherapeutics, a pioneer in women’s health that is personalizing precision medicine for women, and Ditch Labs, a precision medicine startup pioneering smoking cessation with amazing technology and artificial intelligence. We wish them both and all participants the best of luck!

The EFFERVESCENCE Pan-Canadian Start-up Pitch Competition took place as planned on May 12, 2022 and was a total success. All the companies pitched effectively and were worthy of winning.

We send out our Congratulations to Laurent Laferrière, Olivier Bourbonnais, Christelle Luce, Ph.D. and the whole team at Ditch Labs for winning a number of prizes at the competition including the “Coup de cœur MEDTEQ+”, “Coup de cœur National Bank of Canada”, and the “Coup de cœur du Public”. Congratulations also go out to all finalists, they were great.

We are strong supporters of Ditch Labs in their mission to help people ditch their nicotine addiction and quit smoking, and we wish them the best of success. Well done team!
