CTA Health Philadelphia

Program Overview

The Canadian Technology Accelerator for health information technology (CTA Health IT) in Philadelphia helps connect innovative Canadian tech companies to US investment and market growth opportunities.

The CTA Health IT program gives these SMEs access to the largest healthcare services market in the world — connecting them to new markets and financing, and helping create partnerships with US healthcare providers such as hospitals, insurers, research centers, and medical companies.
