Bioindustrial Innovation Canada

Bioindustrial Innovation Canada is a Canadian research network aims to position the Sarnia-Lambton region as a world-scale hybrid chemistry cluster. It is helping Ontario and Canada become professionals in taking sustainable feedstock, such as agricultural and forestry by-products and wastes, and turning these renewable resources into energy and value-added chemicals for use in applications ranging from construction to automotive parts. Bioindustrial Innovation Canada was set up with 15 million U.S. dollars in seed funding from the Centers of Excellence for Commercialization and Research program in 2008, with renovations for the accelerator, Bowman Centre, partly funded by Ontario’s Ministry of Innovation and Research through a 10 million U.S. dollars grant. It is headquartered in Sarnia, O.N.
