JLABS is a global network of incubator spaces operated by Johnson & Johnson, with other locations in San Diego and Houston, Texas, and related Innovation Centres in Menlo Park, California, Boston and London. The first JLABS facility in Canada, this space is housed on the 13th floor of the MaRS West Tower, and will be a research centre for start-ups working on bio/pharmaceutical, medical device, and digital health solutions. “The expansion of JLABS into Canada helps further Johnson & Johnson Innovation’s mission to discover and advance the best science in the world that has the most potential to help patients and consumers,” said Paul Stoffels, MD, Chief Scientific Officer and Worldwide Chairman, Pharmaceuticals, Johnson & Johnson. “We are confident that JLABS @ Toronto will support a vibrant ecosystem of startups and entrepreneurs with access to the world-class expertise and technology within our global network.” Stoffels hosted government representatives and start-up participants, who will be provided with shared lab and office space, as well as access to expertise relating to science, industry and capital fundraising. The JLABS space begins with a cohort of 22 companies, with capacity to host up to 50, working out of modular lab suites on innovative solutions in the therapeutics, medical device and consumer health sectors. “Ontario is one of North America’s leading centres for life sciences research,” said Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne. “Our government’s partnership in the first JLABS in Canada will support an exciting new wave of startups, create good jobs and strengthen Ontario’s position as a hub of the know _______ Helping entrepreneurs overcome initial barriers to development, such as the resources required for establishing functional laboratories, JLABS features a device and digital prototype lab, skill-building programs, and the opportunity to collaborate with IBM Canada, including access to IBM Watson cognitive business technology and IBM Bluemix cloud-based development platform. “We are thrilled to be part of the flourishing life sciences community in Toronto and to contribute to Ontario’s vision to help drive the province toward becoming a world leader in innovation for health and wellness,” said Melinda Richter, Head of JLABS. “Canada’s startup scene is booming, and we look forward to working with the many enterprising innovators in the region that are working to turn science into tangible, commercial products.” Seven of the 22 initial start-ups were winners of the JLABS @ Toronto Quick Fire Challenge. “Our government’s partnership with JLABS @ Toronto builds on our efforts to move Ontario to the forefront of innovation, while creating a more diverse economic climate,” said Brad Duguid, Minister of Economic Development, Employment and Infrastructure.
