Oncopole’s mission is to act as a catalyst and maximize the full potential of Quebec’s cancer research and innovation ecosystem, while at the same time positioning the province as a key player in the field. Its action priorities, namely research, entrepreneurship, commercializing and integrating innovation as well as clinical relevance, are orchestrated for the purpose of fostering the mobilization of the ecosystem, the discovery of innovative approaches to fight cancer and, ultimately, positive benefits for patients.
Oncopole hopes to support and encourage the scope and the mobilization of that ecosystem by contributing financially to organizing events related to its mission.
