About CABHI

Driving innovation to transform the aging experience

The Centre for Aging + Brain Health Innovation (CABHI), powered by Baycrest – a global leader in aging and brain health and home to the Rotman Research Institute – is a solution accelerator focused on driving innovation in the aging and brain health sector. Established in 2015 through funding of $124 million (CAD), it is the result of the largest investment in aging and brain health in Canadian history, and one of the largest investments of its kind in the world. Through its programs, CABHI helps global innovators gain access to key user groups to test, develop, validate, and accelerate the adoption of their solutions.

Funding for CABHI has come from the Government of Canada through the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Government of Ontario through the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, and the Baycrest Foundation.
