Background
Canada has never had a national strategy for the industrial bioeconomy and agriculture/forestry biomass utilization. With support from Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, BioNB and BioIndustrial Innovation Canada are building a national strategy through consultations to provide the national picture of the Canadian opportunity. This webinar and survey represent the final phase of our consultations leading up to the final report.

This project is supported by AAFC, with the additional support of:

• BioAlberta
• BIOTECanada
• CRIBIQ – Consortium de recherche et innovations en bioprocédés industriels au Québec
• Forest Products Association of Canada
• FPInnovations
• Manitoba Agriculture
• Nova Scotia Innovation Hub
• Ontario Agri-Food Technologies

Participants in the webinar will learn how to provide their input on key priority areas and recommended actions for the Canadian bioeconomy as the BioDesign team builds this strategy. This webinar is intended to engage stakeholders who did not attend any of the in-person sessions held in January and February 2019.
