Niagara’s natural abundance is matched by the multitude of companies that have found a home here, in a wide range of emerging business sectors perfectly suited to the Region.

Think Bio-Products. Think Niagara.

New technologies are developing and converging, spurring the growth of a burgeoning Ontario biotechnology industry.

The province is now home to a diverse group of bio-based industries, innovative new manufacturing processes and on-going research activity. And investors and developers have awakened to the attractions of the Niagara Region’s own biotechnology base in particular.

Niagara has many unique competitive advantages perfectly suited to the emerging bioeconomy – a long-established agricultural and agrifood business infrastructure; institutional bioscience research; industry expertise drawn from a number of leading-edge companies; and abundant supplies of water, energy and biomass.

Collectively, these assets have helped attract businesses in a variety of growing sub-industries within the bioproducts field, from waste-to-energy conversion to industrial fermentation.

The roster of current activity in bioenergy and biochemicals is forming the backbone of an exciting new industry cluster for Niagara. Increasingly, small and medium-sized companies are helping to unlock the inherent economic potential of the region with their niche bioproducts, services and markets, and through focused institutional support from both government and academic partners.

Niagara’s natural and man-made assets are providing a firm foundation for future growth and innovation in the bioeconomy… making it the ideal location for your bio-based business.
