Bioenterprise Canada Corporation is pleased to announce the recipients for round three of the Sustainable Growth and Adoption Program (SGAP). Sixteen (16) food and agri-food technology businesses in southern Ontario have been selected to partner with organizations that will address their sustainable growth and adoption needs through clean technology adoption and sustainability process enhancements. These projects will help to accelerate environmentally conscious business growth and the transition to a green economy in southern Ontario.
The Government of Canada, through the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario), is supporting Bioenterprise Canada with a $5.95 million investment to deliver SGAP. Recipients will receive up to $100,000 in matching non-repayable, project-based contributions to embrace more efficient solutions that will reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.
“Canada’s agri-food sector has no shortage of innovation. The challenge is ensuring businesses have the support needed to adopt new technologies and put them to work,” said Dave Smardon, CEO of Bioenterprise Canada. “Through the Sustainable Growth and Adoption Program, we’re helping companies reduce risk, accelerate implementation, and realize measurable environmental and economic benefits. We congratulate the successful recipients and look forward to seeing these projects strengthen both the sustainability and competitiveness of Canada’s agri-food sector.”
As Bioenterprise Canada expands its national membership program, Canada’s Food & Agri-Tech Engine, collaborative initiatives like SGAP, offered across southern Ontario, strengthen the connection between industry and access to the resources needed to develop and scale innovative technologies. SGAP connects organizations with proven clean technologies and solutions to businesses seeking to adopt greener and more sustainable practices. This program encourages industry collaboration, modernization, and expansion, while helping to reduce the risk of adopting more forward-thinking solutions that will benefit the sector’s carbon footprint.
