MedTech stands for “medical technology” – also known as health technology. It is a combination of technology and medical interventions to improve people’s health by preventing, diagnosing, monitoring, and treating disease.

From its inception, Opus USask founders have included MedTech innovators who have dedicated their time and energy to creating life-changing medical technologies such as therapies that help slow the progression of multiple sclerosis, targeted treatments for bone cancer in animals, and a biomedical incubator that will change the future of organ transplantation.
Our MedTech founders are changing the face of healthcare, improving patient outcomes, and finding solutions to global health issues. We are happy to be supporting them in their entrepreneurial journeys, and look forward to seeing them reach their next milestone!

So, what is deep tech anyway?

The term ‘deep tech’ was coined in 2014 by Swati Chaturvedi to define a new category of startups that are built on tangible scientific discoveries, and which have the ability to disrupt several markets. Here at Opus USask, we define deep tech as research-backed innovations with the potential for proprietary IP.

At Opus USask, we are honoured to be a part of the unique success stories of our deep tech innovators who are developing novel solutions to global problems.
