Building Connections: Showcasing Innovation at SRIC
Experience the next generation of AI, biotech, and data science — all under one roof.
November 6 @ 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm
Location: 7th Floor Winter Garden, Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus
Join us for a reimagined version of Building Connections, a community event designed to foster collaboration and connection among the innovative companies, researchers, and startups that call the Schwartz Reisman Innovation Campus (SRIC) home.
This session highlights the incredible diversity of innovation happening within our building — from AI-driven biotech to data optimization — and showcases how SRIC’s ecosystem of tenants, startups, and U of T research units are shaping the future together.
Featuring:
Axiomatic AI
Witness a live demo of Axiomatic AI’s platform aimed at boosting scientific and engineering productivity ten-fold by 2030 through AI that reasons formally rather than simply predicts.
Re:Pair Genomics
Discover how Re:Pair Genomics is using AI-driven algorithms to design compact, synthetic promoters that precisely target specific tissues and cell types in gene therapies — cutting design time from months to days.
