Encompassing prosthetics, clinical training robots, robotic exoskeleton technology and more, healthcare robotics is a broad and rapidly developing field. Full of promising research and exciting innovation, the global medical robotics systems market size was valued at $2.3 billion USD in 2018, and is expected to reach $10.7 billion USD by 2026.
Surrey is perfectly positioned to meet both needs for this emerging sector. Home to the largest industrial land availability in Metro Vancouver, Surrey provides plenty of room for facilities of all sizes, where robotics companies can to research, iterate, experiment, and prototype. Centred around SFU’s Mechatronics program, Surrey is also a hotbed of talent in engineering and robotics.
