About us
The Voice of Life Sciences in Ontario. As companies and stakeholders look for a definitive voice in the Life Science arena in Ontario they will look to LSO not only for the directions and resolutions to public policy issues, but also to be the conduit between the many organizations in Ontario and the governments that operate in our space. LSO will work in concert with life science companies and organizations to grow the sector in Ontario and maintain our position on the global arena. LSO will maintain their status of no government funding and will continue to grow through its value proposition to members, stakeholders and governments. We will complement, not compete with, the work of our stakeholders. LSO events are targeted to specific stakeholders groups and are must attend. Organizations will want to partner with LSO due to its commitment to the sector and its ability to deliver.
