About Bounce:
Bounce Health Innovation (Bounce) is a mini cluster in medical technology that was launched in St. John’s as a result of increasing interest in health innovation spurred from the local Hacking Health initiative – a series of open innovation networking events that connect frontline healthcare workers with developers, designers, patients, and entrepreneurs. We are operated by TechNL and other industry partners with a mission to accelerate the growth of the health innovation sector in NL. Bounce’s vision is to help the province become the testbed for medical technology innovation in North America. We engage with and support health innovators and entrepreneurs by leveraging resources within a unique health innovation ecosystem.
