The Cradle
Canada’s first pediatric specific accelerator.
Canada’s first pediatric accelerator unites experts to develop innovations for children's care. It supports start-ups with legal, financial, and engineering resources to bring ideas to market.
The Hospital for Sick Children is committed to the translation of medical technology and research to ensure that it reaches clinicians, surgeons and health care providers for the benefit of children in Canada and around the world.
Canada’s first pediatric specific accelerator, “The Cradle” leverages the unique expertise of surgeons, clinicians, health-care providers, scientists and engineers to develop pediatric specific technology and innovation to maximize impact to patients.
The Cradle provides an ecosystem for start-ups to thrive. Using a network of expertise in legal, finance, market analysis, engineering and investment, our goal is to create a culture of innovation and nurture start-ups from idea to commercial reality.
