About this event
World-class physicians, doctors, researchers, and scientists will be speaking and diving into how the future of health care is evolving. Discussions on cutting-edge research, emerging life sciences innovators and experienced industry veterans from the United States and Canada will come together to open up the conversation on how academia, industry and government need to collaborate and adapt in innovative ways in health care and the life sciences industries.
The cities of Kingston and Syracuse are naturally connected - in proximity and through shared economic advantages and interests. Kingston, Syracuse and their surrounding regions are both home to world-class academic, research institutions and innovative ecosystems. The Kingston Kingston Syracuse Pathway Conference will focus on the health care and life sciences sectors. Topics include vaccines, global health, infectious diseases, Lyme disease, health care systems, and life after COVID-19. This full-day event will include networking, keynote speakers, panel discussions and pitch competition.
Pitch Competition: for startups in the life and health sciences. Dunin-Deshpande Queen’s Innovation Centre will be facilitating the competition and there is a $5,000 prize for the top pitch.
