Funding announced for Ag-West Bio

Ottawa and the province have committed $9.5 million in funding for Ag-West Bio over the next five years.

Investing in Ag-West Bio supports the growth of innovative ag, food, and bioscience businesses in Saskatchewan.

Agriculture Minister David Marit says Ag-West Bio is a key organization that connects businesses, entrepreneurs, and scientists so that
 we advance research into the hands of producers and industry.

Ag-West Bio will use the money to support its new 2023-28 strategic plan.

The plan focuses on four main objectives from direct support for innovative companies on the path to commercialization, to creating connections and growing the ecosystem, to promoting agriculture biosciences and developing a high-performing team.
