About BioDesign
​
The BioDesign consortium concept formed in 2017 around a collective mission to build and support highly-innovative Canadian firms who seek to commercialize new bio-based products and develop new sustainable biomass-to-bioproducts technologies. This vision for a strong Canadian bioeconomy if realized would have many benefits for the country, including economic growth, environmental benefits and new biotechnology innovations.
