The Desjardins ‘Startup in Residence’ Accelerator Healthtech Category Finals are taking place March 24, 2022

How can Canadian Healthtech startups accelerate and improve the digital transformation of healthcare? It is the search for answers to this question that led the Desjardins Group to launch its Startup in Residence Accelerator Program.

Startup in Residence provides support for startups that have a positive socio-economic impact within Canada. It is designed to guide early-stage, growth-driven companies in the fields of Fintech, Cybersecurity, AI and Healthtech to market success. The Healthtech Accelerator is conducted in partnership with Esplanade Ventures, a leading Montréal based digital healthcare venture capital firm.

Join them on March 24, 2022, at 4PM EST to meet the finalists who are competing for prizes totalling $45,000, a place in the Startup in Residence Accelerator, and an opportunity to receive potential investment of up to $250,000.
