Youth Efforts Driving Global Health Into Essential Policy Action: by @Meladul_HAQ_Ahm #YouthLeadership #HealthAndWellness This is a short reflection post on how I see youth entrepreneurship having a role in addressing some of the most pressing global socio‑economic challenges, which I have personally applied and now see as essential. Youth entrepreneurship has a powerful role to play in solving the challenges that affect communities around the world. Whether we look at healthcare access, digital inequality, unemployment, or gaps in public services, young innovators are often the ones bringing fresh ideas, new technologies, and practical solutions. I believe the policy action we as youth create today has the power to drive meaningful change and make lives better in Canada and around the world. Access to healthcare, for example, remains a major global issue — and it is a barrier faced even here in Canada. As a global health researcher, technology consultant, and longtime entrepreneur, I have seen how youth‑led innovation can strengthen systems that are under pressure. Through #TaleamSystems, which I founded in 2011, and SickHelp, my digital health startup, I’ve worked to improve access to care, reduce administrative burden, and support clinics and international companies through reliable IT solutions. Last year, my work was recognized by @WHO and the UHC Day Champion role alongside other esteemed people. Youth entrepreneurship matters because it transforms challenges into opportunities. It empowers young people to design tools that make services more accessible, more efficient, and more equitable. And with the knowledge gained through Lab2Market, the Toronto Board of Trade, and other entrepreneurship programs — along with our active Export Strategy — we are ready to scale these solutions globally. I believe young entrepreneurs can drive meaningful socio‑economic progress by combining innovation with purpose. This means understanding the @UN #SDGGoals, having extensive experience working with stakeholders both locally and internationally, and a desire to sit at the round table to contribute to the process on behalf of a country. As I have completed my education, I am ready to debate issues if given the chance and raise my voice on behalf of all young people — and ensure their perspectives are heard.

Today was a meaningful day of connecting with like‑minded #entrepreneurs and sharing my SickHelp #startup #pitch using the Care, Believe, Join model. I truly enjoyed hearing their #ideas, and I’m grateful that my own pitch received positive feedback from the judges. It was a chance to show why I care about the problem SickHelp is solving, why I believe in the solution we’re building, and why others should join this journey. This was only my fourth pitch in my #businessdevelopment path, and each experience continues to sharpen my skills. Thank you to Lab2Market to my mentor, Nerjis, for this opportunity. I’m excited for what comes next for SickHelp.ca. I recommend this program to other entrepreneurs and graduate students!

I spent the past two days in Montreal attending the Lab2Market Summit 2025. #innovation #business #tech #ottbiz It was a fantastic opportunity to listen, network, and connect with people driving innovation in the startup sector. An inspiring and enriching experience overall. I also had the chance to soak in all that Montreal has to offer. @Meladul_HAQ_Ahm

🚨 Lab2Market (@Lab2MarketCA): turning genocide into a product pitch. Partnering with the Israeli Consulate to “showcase” dementia care—what a sick joke. You’ve sold your soul. #HumanRightsInHealthcare

Happy to speak at the @UN International Decade of Science event during the #Science #Technology #Innovation Forum in NY with @UNESCO, @ITU, @ISC, and @UNDESA officials. I advocated for #WomenScientists, #Lab2Market, #Finances, #Education & warned against #ParachuteScience in #AI

Thank you for the longer vid. Many have taken only the "limited time, big goal" part & interpreted it as for attack on Pakistan while @narendramodi clarifies. Read/hear the full context - the "lab2market" is a key msg. pseudo-R&D w/o commercial goal produces mostly useless papers
