Toronto based Myant Corp is at the forefront of advancing science, technology, and innovation to address fundamental questions shaping our future and empowering societal change. Myant envisages human-centred innovations working harmoniously with our environment contributing to an equitable and sustainable society while enhancing and augmenting the human experience on our planet and beyond.
On 30 June 2023, Myant proudly announced its acquisition of the Xerox Research Centre of Canada, renowned for pioneering advanced material technologies that power real-world commercial solutions across diverse industries. Myant says this strategic move catapulted it into a realm of unprecedented opportunity, poised to revolutionise smart textile computing, advanced material solutions and redefine human connectivity within the digital sphere.
Following the seamless integration of the two leaders in breakthrough developments, Myant unveils its future strategic direction through the introduction of three distinct entities: MyantX, Myant Health and Myant Ventures. Together, these entities form a triumvirate dedicated to unleashing the full potential of innovation into the market, the Canadian company says.

“MyantX emerges as our critical technology innovation hub, offering end-to-end, full-stack integrated solutions which deliver the enabling power and value-added differentiation integral to the creation of high-value technologies,” Myant says.
“Spanning concept ideation, design engineering, development, scale-up, and product manufacturing services, we meet our customers wherever they may be in their innovation journey. With 200 engineers, scientists and specialists, a world-class 170,000 square foot facility, and 50 years of domain expertise, few innovation centres of this scale and magnitude exist across the globe. MyantX is excited to open our doors to the ecosystem of creators and entrepreneurs who are ready to change the world.”

“Myant Health takes centre stage as our dedicated commercial healthcare arm, leveraging our proprietary Textile Computing wearable technology to pioneer ground-breaking solutions,” continues Myant.
“By transforming everyday clothing and textiles into IoT devices embedded with sensing and actuating properties we seamlessly connect people to the digital world. One of the first applications is a medical service currently used to monitor and assess people at risk of or living with cardiovascular disease.
