BC Life Sciences Companies Win at Canada's Top 10™ Competition
LifeSciences BC is pleased to report that four of our member companies we nominated for the Red Herring Canada 2008 Competition did very well in this national competition. Indel Therapeutics, iCo Therapeutics, and Innimex Pharmaceuticals all took one of the Canada's Top
10™ Competition winners' positions, and EnGene was listed as a finalist.
The competition showcases Canada's life sciences, cleantech and
technology sectors. Working in partnership with Canadian Consulates in
Boston, New York City, San Diego and San Francisco, winning companies
will participate in targeted investment forums in each city, providing
them with an opportunity to meet with Venture Capital investors who
have expressed an active interest in financing these companies. Since
its inception in 1999, competition alumni have secured more than $522M
in venture capital financing. More information about the competition
can be found at http://www.topcanadiancompanies.ca/.
Top 10™ winners are chosen by an independent
expert panel of Canadian and U.S. venture capitalists. The panel can be
viewed at http://www.topcanadiancompanies.ca/jury/ls_jury.html.
Congratulations to all!
