Bio-economy Analysis

Collectively our federal and provincial governments along with the industry are bringing public and private led research to the global community in hundreds of new products and technologies.

Canada stands out as one of the most diversified bio-economies in the world. From our early leadership in agricultural biotechnology research and commercial development, to today where we have world-class leadership in vaccines, therapeutic treatments for debilitating illnesses, renewable energy, bio-manufacturing and environmental remediation technologies.

Building out of the recent economic downturn the bio-economy in Canada has continued to grow. With more than 7% of our national GDP being generated every year as a result of biotechnology development and use, all regions of Canada are realizing the benefits of this growth.
