These are exciting times in Saskatchewan’s bioscience and agri-value industry!

We are just over a month away from launching a major new initiative – the Global Agri-Food Advancement Partnership (GAAP), a combined business accelerator and incubator located at Innovation Place, Saskatoon. GAAP will bring new funding opportunities and business support to startups and companies relocating to this province.

GAAP grew from a collaboration between Ag-West Bio, the Global Institute for Food Security, the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre, Innovation Place, and private sector partners. Stay tuned for more information!

We continue to build partnerships within our community. The Ag-West Boffins Innovation Series is an example. More events are being planned for the Boffins Event Centre, co-hosted by Ag-West Bio and Innovation Place (with input and support from our stakeholders).

We encourage Ag-West Bio members to submit articles to the Bulletin (please read the submission guidelines). Thank you to everyone who contributed to this edition. Visit our event calendar and sign up for our Weekly Update to keep up with news and events in Saskatchewan’s bioscience industry; and of course, like us on Facebook, follow us on Twitter and LinkedIn, and subscribe to our YouTube video channel.
