in 2021, more than 200 life science
organizations in Hamilton collectively
contributed $5.7 billion to the economy.
Hamilton boasts more than 6,700
professional scientists, researchers and
clinicians, and over 50 research institutes
and centres, who collectively conducted
$460 million on innovative research.

Collaborative, diverse, and open-for-
business, the city possesses a critical
mass of life science infrastructure,
assets, and expertise required for
companies seeking to compete in Canada
and around the globe.

“Hamilton is quickly gaining an international
reputation as a life sciences leader”, says
norm Schleehahn, Director, Economic
Development at the City of Hamilton.
“From a talented workforce to rich research
capacities to strong partnerships between
academia and industry, life sciences
continues to be a large economic driver for
the City of Hamilton and major contributor
in building a stronger, more technologically
advanced economy.”

From talent to funding, and from lab
space to commercialization support, all
the necessary ingredients can be found
in Hamilton. Companies are seizing the
opportunity to be part of a growing and
dynamic “goldilocks-sized” city competing
on a global scale – small enough to be
nimble in supporting operations and growth,
and yet not too large to be lost amongst the
noise. Will yours be involved?
