The family of Dr. John Evans, an innovator in both medicine and business, is donating $10-million to the Toronto MaRS Discovery District. The money will be used to create a MaRS Solutions Lab, which will be designed to help tackle a range of problems - from the commercialization of medical discoveries to global health issues - while providing opportunities for young Canadians, who will have the chance to become fellows at MaRS.
Four Ontario start-up companies working with MaRS advisory services are among those recognized by this year's Deloitte Technology Fast 50(TM) program, Canada's pre-eminent technology awards. These companies were Aeryon Labs Inc., Bayalink Solutions Corp., Real Tech Inc. and Vive Nano. Oct 1, 2009
