The third edition of Effervescence will be held in person from May 10 to 12, 2022 at the Marché Bonsecours in Montreal.

EFFERVESCENCE Pan-Canadian Start-up Pitch Competition for start-ups will fuel the rise of Canadian start-ups whose innovations aim to transform the field of life sciences and health technologies (LSHT).

The 10 start-ups selected as finalists will get the opportunity to present their pitch before the EFFERVESCENCE participants during a virtual session open to the public. The pitches will be judged by an international panel of judges, each of whom is a recognized expert or investor in the field of LSHT from Canada, the US and Europe. The evaluation by the jury members will take the form of constructive advice and possible solutions to be explored to allow the entrepreneurial team to push its project even further.

The 10 finalists will benefit from unique visibility with a diverse audience comprised of investors, entrepreneurs, researchers, and industry members, all brought together at EFFERVESCENCE to discover the most promising opportunities for collaboration and create the future of life sciences. In this new edition, finalists will also benefit from the additional opportunity to pitch and receive the first round of feedback in private from the members of the jury.
