CFIN’s aim is to foster increased connection and innovation in the food sector. Our Food Innovation Challenges seek to unite diverse and complementary partners from across Canada to combine their capabilities to articulate compelling innovation. By encouraging dense and tightly interconnected collaboration networks through both our funding programs and services, we aim to turn the Network into a highway of new projects, new collaborations, new intellectual property, and enhance business and industry performance. Collaborative research and open innovation have been shown to be tremendously impactful on the global stage, as well as here in Canada.
