Our commercial research services are power tools for the knowledge economy.

Saskatchewan is recognized as one of the top agricultural biotechnology research centres in the world and is home to almost one-third of Canada's industry. Some of the most advanced bioprocessing facilities in the country are here. Saskatchewan is one of the few places in the world where you can go from innovative research through bioprocessing and analysis all the way to commercial products.

In the last decade, the number of life sciences companies in Saskatchewan has tripled to 57, and employment in the field more than doubled. For a region with the agricultural wealth and diversity of Saskatchewan, function foods, nutraceuticals and natural health products are a natural focus. This sector draws on Saskatchewan's demonstrated strengths in agriculture, food science and food processing technologies, pharmacy, medicine, botany and animal sciences.
