Introduction
Alberta's leadership in agriculture, forestry and life sciences research and technology grew from our innovative spirit and our unparalleled access to tremendous renewable bio-resources. And when "the bioeconomy" was still a buzz word, Alberta was already developing new opportunities and attracting world talent. Now, our work is capturing the attention of organizations everywhere seeking sustainable solutions.
But we're not stopping there. Alberta Innovates - Bio Solutions is embracing and supporting new technologies and the creation of new ideas for the growing global bioeconomy. We're delivering on the potential of agriculture and forestry in areas such as sustainable production, biorefining, composite materials, value-added food and health products, and nano-enabled materials. And we're strengthening our ability to develop new sustainability practices, new natural products for world markets and economic opportunities attracting international investment.
Alberta aims to be a global gateway and resource for bio-based research, talent, investment and solutions. And we're working with our partners to make it happen here…to realize Alberta's potential to create the next generation of bio solutions.
Alberta Innovates - Bio Solutions builds on the strengths and successes of the Alberta Prion Research Institute and the former Alberta Agricultural Research Institute, Alberta Forestry Research Institute and Alberta Life Sciences Institute.
