Ag-West Bio is Saskatchewan’s bioscience industry association and bioeconomy catalyst. Our mandate is "To provide leadership, as a catalyst, to link existing capabilities and resources in order to strengthen the bioeconomy industry in Saskatchewan."

Since 1989, we have been helping move research to market and grow biobusiness in the province. A not-for-profit and membership-based company, Ag-West Bio members include public research institutions, private companies (from start-ups to multinationals), research service organizations, economic development and commodity groups. Members represent biotechnology, bioproducts and biofuels, environment, health and nutrition sectors.

Entrepreneurs come to Ag-West Bio for pathfinding and help in creating sound business plans. Our technology commercialization fund assists early stage companies. 

Ag-West Bio initiatives help increase capacity in research and commercialization for Saskatchewan's bioscience / agri-food sector. Our events help the bioscience community stay connected and informed. Ag-West Bio also participates with like-minded associations from across Canada in creating awareness of the bioscience industry.

Ag-West Bio is funded by the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture through Agriculture & Agri-Food Canada's Canadian Agricultural Partnership (CAP) program.
