The World Health Innovation Network and the Cross-Border Health Foundation will collaborate on policy papers, research and education opportunities.

An inaugural report details activities of the World Health Innovation Network in its first year.

The network, based in the Odette School of Business, brokers partnerships to source, embed and scale innovations in health systems.

The report lists its activities as research demonstration projects, education and knowledge generation in three areas of focus:

A partnership between the Odette World Health Innovation Network (WIN) and Ontario’s Ministry of Government and Consumer Services will allow researchers to track the province’s progress in health care innovation procurement.

The ministry will invest $2.7 million over three years in the project, titled “Innovation Procurement Initiative Measures and Case Studies,” which will involve partners across the Ontario health sector.

The chair of the Odette World Health Innovation Network (WIN) praises three new members of the network’s academic team, who she says will nurture highly skilled, specialized entrepreneurs and professionals.

The Odette School of Business announced the appointment of three adjunct faculty members Monday: Pierre-Gerlier Forest, Kathleen MacMillan and V.K. Singh.
