Torys partners with UTEST to help research-based companies go from lab to market

Torys is proud to announce its collaboration with the University of Toronto Early-Stage Technology (UTEST) Program.

UTEST gives entrepreneurs the mentorship, investment capital, education and dedicated incubation space needed to scale a deep tech venture. As the Program’s legal partner, Torys will provide ventures with legal advice and services as they move toward commercialization.
