As we slowly emerged from our COVID caves of 2020-2021, this year brought great excitement to Medlior. We helped industry bring life-changing innovations to market, and we increased our stakeholder collaboration.
At Medlior, this was a year of tremendous growth in terms of new research projects and the addition of highly skilled members to our team. We feel very fortunate to have had our business flourish during this year, and a few highlights are noted below.

Medlior Graduate Scholarship for Women in Life Science
In 2022, we were thrilled to support the Medlior Graduate Scholarship for Women in Life Science in partnership with the University of Calgary. The annual scholarship will be awarded to students who self-identify as women, are registered full-time in a graduate degree program, and are pursuing research in the field of life sciences, global health, or patient care. As a woman-owned life sciences company, this scholarship supports our commitment to promoting women in pursuit of advanced science degrees.
Charitable Contributions
In addition to our annual scholarship, Medlior is proud to support many outstanding non-profit organizations that seek to improve patient lives and those in need. In 2022, we were pleased to support The Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer and the Calgary Food Bank. We have also donated our computer equipment that was no longer needed.
ISPOR EU Conference Exhibitor
Medlior was pleased to be an exhibitor at the 2022 ISPOR EU conference in Vienna, Austria. The exhibit was an important step in showcasing Medlior’s services to a global audience and connecting with healthcare stakeholders around the world. We look forward to continuing to connect with global leaders in 2023 to discuss how we can promote sustainable health systems, improve patient lives, and realize the potential of new and emerging technologies.
Looking Forward
The Medlior team is excited to kick off 2023 and continue our collaborative research studies to foster healthcare decision-making with high-quality evidence.
In the meantime, we look forward to closing our virtual doors on December 23rd and re-opening January 3rd with a refreshed and re-energized team!
From our team to yours, we wish you a healthy holiday season and all the best in the New Year!
