Client

An association of Ontario-based health and biotech research companies

Challenge

Build support from government to recognize the unique needs and challenges facing the domestic life sciences industry in Ontario, in the areas of capital (including tax policy) and commercializatio

Solution

Campbell Strategies conducted an audit of the organization’s relationships and developed a public affairs strategy to build awareness of the unique needs of Ontario-headquartered life science companies. This included building support across government for several policy proposals that would strengthen the industry particularly in the areas of capital.

Results

Success. The government recognized the unique needs of the Ontario-based life sciences sector and created a special fund to support this important industry as part of the province’s overall Life Sciences Strategy. The association has secured a “seat at the table” to work across government and industry to further Ontario’s life sciences sector.
