This fireside chat from the last Health Toronto by TechTO brings together two leaders shaping Canada’s innovation economy:

Feiran Zhou, Investment Professional at the Ontario Centre of Innovation, supports early-stage companies across AI, cleantech, and life sciences, while championing equity and inclusion for diverse founders.

Chenny Xia, serial entrepreneur and CEO of Gotcare, is transforming home-care delivery in Canada through community-based, person-centered design. A design leader turned founder, she has built ventures across global markets and continues to advocate for women and non-binary entrepreneurs.

Together, they explore the future of Canada’s care economy, inclusive innovation, early-stage funding, and the intersection of design, empathy, and entrepreneurship.
