To commence the evening, we are honored to have Opening Remarks from Mayor Paul Lefebvre and Viviane Lapointe, MP for Sudbury, setting the stage for a gathering that blends innovation, investment, and visionary leadership to support the City of Greater Sudbury’s Innovation Blueprint.

Additionally, Radialis Inc's CEO, Michael Waterston, will introduce the revolutionary PET Imager, with ten times the precision than conventional PET scanners. This breakthrough was invented in Thunder Bay where the devices are now being produced and promises a paradigm shift in diagnostics imaging.
