While women entrepreneurs represent 40 percent of all business owners, they receive under three percent of venture capital funding. The Women in Health Initiative is one of the several programs that OBIO launched and expanded last year as part of the $10-million investment it secured from the Federal Economic Development Agency in 2015. OBIO also expanded its Early Adopter Health Network in 2022 to continue growing the network by creating more opportunities for companies and healthcare organizations across the entire healthcare ecosystem. Based in Toronto, OBIO exists to provide health sciences companies with strategy support, programming, policy development, and advocacy. OBIO does this by partnering with the private sector, the bioscience investment community, academia, patients and government. In 2021 , OBIO launched its Business Development Skills Program with $5.25 million from the Ontario government to teach bioscience companies financial, business, and intellectual property commercialization skills to help them scale. As part of the Business Development Skills Program, Ontario-based health science companies can receive up to $100,000 in grant funding, which must be spent by the recipient by the following year in 2022.
