Ottawa & Eastern Ontario: Leading the way for Research & Innovation

OCRI Life Sciences is dedicated to providing the services needed to grow and support the life sciences community in Ottawa and Eastern Ontario.

With a solid base of companies in the Life Science and Cleantech sectors, two major universities (Carleton University and the University of Ottawa), the National Research Council, over 40 research institutes/centres and some of Canada’s leading service providers, Ottawa is a thriving R&D, clinical research and manufacturing centre.  In addition, Eastern Ontario’s rural communities offer excellent greenfield locations for manufacturing, integrated biomass conversion and agricultural technologies.

Ottawa companies and research institutions demonstrate world-class strengths in many areas, including clean technologies, medical devices, stem cell research, genomics, proteomics, bioprocessing, neuroscience, cancer, immunotherapeutics, radiotherapeutics, and regenerative medicine.

OCRI Life Sciences is a division of OCRI—the Ottawa Centre for Research and Innovation. OCRI is a non-profit, partnership whose mission is to lead Ottawa in economic development by connecting business, research, education, government and talent to advance the competitiveness of our knowledge-based industries and institutions, to build wealth and enhance our quality of life.
