Alberta Innovates' Alberta Bio Future Program Overview

Alberta is already home to more than 200 life science companies with more than $1 billion in revenues and 4,600 employees.

Of these, about 20 companies are working at adding value to biomass, in industrial biotechnology and bioprocessing, or in the bioindustrial space.
 
Alberta has invested heavily into infrastructure for research, development and commercialization, to ensure sustainability and long-term success. This capacity helps the province attract and retain top talent, and support a growing bioindustrial sector.

The province is home to some of the richest agricultural land, energy and forest resources in the world.
