Natural Products Canada (NPC), an innovation cluster exclusively dedicated to natural solutions further fuels Canada’s bioeconomy with the recent addition of $ 1.1 million invested in 11 cutting-edge technologies.

As we move to the commercialization phase, we will put the NPC grant to good use.

“Natural Products Canada is proud to support these breakthrough technologies that showcase Canada’s remarkable capacity for natural product innovation,” said Shelley King, CEO, Natural Products Canada. “By investing in these innovative solutions, NPC is accelerating the growth of sustainable companies and products across a range of industries and contributing to the health and well-being of our communities.”

“Our government continues to partner and invest in Natural Products Canada because its programs are critical to advance Canada’s sustainable food, agri-food, and bioeconomies … NPC has also provided advice and support to over 1500 Canadian start-ups and facilitated thousands of connections through its extensive network of industry stakeholders, an invaluable contribution to the growth of the green economy in Canada.”
-The Honourable François-Philippe Champagne, Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry
