🎓 >80% Increase in Canada's Student Enrolments

Canadian university international student enrolments grew from 144,381 in 2013 to 262,848 by 2022. This data indicates a robust upward trend in attracting global students over the decade. However, new study permit limitations have resulted in significantly higher education job cuts, prompting the sector to observe the impacts of recent electoral changes to make necessary changes. Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada’s cap aims for stabilized growth but faces scrutiny amidst workforce shortage concerns.

⚕️ 40% Rise in Annual IT Expenses of US Hospitals

Average US hospital IT expenses rose from $6.73M in 2017 to $9.51M in 2023. This increasing IT investment contrasts with rising data security fears, evidenced by the Kettering Health cyberattack, which impacted its facilities. Healthcare faces severe cybersecurity threats like ransomware and data breaches, jeopardizing patient information and operational continuity. Proactive measures, including robust vulnerability management, are vital as organizations prepare for new cybersecurity requirements to mitigate these risks.

🏭 >600M Invested In Nanotech by US HHS

The US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) heavily invests in nanotechnology, allocating $610.3M primarily to applications, devices, and systems. This signals a strong commitment to practical healthcare advancements, such as targeted drug delivery and the development of gene therapy techniques. Nanotechnology is actively enhancing gene therapy's precision and safety, offering new avenues for treating complex diseases. Sustained R&D funding by HHS for these nanomedical innovations remains vital for future medical efficiency, particularly amid broader healthcare budget adjustments
