Protein Industries Canada is opening the first call for Expressions of Interests (EOIS) under their current Capacity Building Stream. This is the first call for Capacity Building projects under the second round of funding provided through the Government of Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster program.
A strong and supportive ecosystem is necessary to build a $25 billion industry. Protein Industries Canada’s Capacity Building stream supports projects that increase the competitiveness of Canada’s plant-based ecosystem. Working across eight priority areas, Capacity Building projects focus on the growth and success of the entire ecosystem and complement investments into innovative R&D.
“Through our Capacity Building Project stream, Protein Industries Canada and our partners are helping create new opportunities not only for Canadian businesses, but also our citizens,” CEO of Protein Industries Canada Bill Greuel said. “A key indicator of a strong sector is how inclusive it is to all of Canada’s citizens. That’s why under this call we are specifically looking for projects that will increase the opportunity for Indigenous people and other under-represented groups, such as New Canadians, to participate in, and benefit from, a strong plant-based food, feed and ingredient sector.”
