An industry-led hub in Kitchener for Canadian medtech companies that are scaling, with offices, lab space and mentoring from other medtech founders.

Medical Innovation Xchange (MIX) calls itself Canada's first industry-led hub for medtech startups that are scaling. Intellijoint Surgical's founders started it, and its members mentor each other.

It works only with medtech companies based in Canada, generally at technology readiness level 5 or higher. A selection committee meets each applicant. It says it has 30 member companies.

Residents rent space in its Kitchener building for at least 18 months. Affiliates are companies elsewhere in Canada, or with their own space, that join the network for $500 a year.

What it offers

Residency: furnished open-plan offices at a market rent, with space that can be fitted out as a lab, assembly or operations area

Affiliate membership for $500 a year: virtual mentoring and MIX events

Advice from other medtech companies on regulatory approval, quality assurance, commercialization and fundraising

Meeting rooms, a bistro and patio, event space and free parking

A job board for member companies, and a MIX Alumni network for their former staff and co-op students
