Business Facilities - March 2008 - (Page 22) COVER STORY Outside the Biotechnology Clusters Monsanto, and Dow AgroSciences, as well as local start-ups Philom Bios Inc. and Biooriginal Food & Science Corp. With approximately 30% of Canada’s agriculture biotechnology industry, Saskatoon contributes 15% of all Canadian biotechnology R&D and over CA $1 billion in sales. Saskatoon is continuing to contribute to biotechnology advancements through achievements such as the development of an E. coli vaccine at the Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization and the development of the CA $173.4 million Canadian Light Source synchrotron, one of only six third-generation synchrotrons in the world and the only one in Canada. “Saskatoon is a leader in terms of plant biotechnology,” says Royal Hinther, head of business development at the National Resource Council Plant Biotechnology Institute (NRC-PBI) in Saskatoon. “We are unique because we are dedicated to plant biotechnology. A lot of areas have pharmaceuticals and plants are a second thought, but they are our primary focus.” Several important components of Saskatoon’s biotechnology infrastructure are NRC-PBI, Agriculture Canada, and Innovation Place, the city’s science research park. Innovation Place, an 80-acre science research park established in 1980 adjacent to the University of Saskatchewan, is home to 144 agricultural, information technology, and environmental and life sciences companies, which together employ more than 2,300 people and contribute over CA $250 million per year to the regional economy. Companies at Innovation Place have access to facilities such as the Innovation Place Bioprocessing Center, an advanced bioprocessing facility, and the L.F. Kristjanson Biotechnology Complex, which includes growth chambers, 43 greenhouse compartments, nine furnished laboratories, and enriched laboratory space.
