SOWING for SUCCESS

Opportunities for the Seed Industry

• What is Protein

Industries Canada

• Project Pipeline
• Research Gap Analysis
• Ecosystem Strategy

PROTEIN INDUSTRIES CANADA

Vision – Canada is a world leader in plant protein. Mission – Invest collaboratively to accelerate innovation and the competitiveness of the Canadian plant protein sector.

Western Canada is poised be a reliable supplier of high quality plant based foods and ingredients that meet a growing consumer demand for plant based ingredients and foods.

Protein Industries Canada

• Member based organization
• Invest $300 M over the next

four years to grow that value added and food processing sector

• Develop a lasting plant

protein ecosystem

We need new thinking and new approaches

Protein Industries Canada Investments

Technology

• Co-investment with private

sector companies.

• Creation of new producers,

technologies and services to help grow the value added processing sector.

Ecosystem

• How do we help ensure a

competitive business environment?

• How do we help incent new

approaches within the ecosystem?

Research Gap Analysis

Current State Evaluation

By Crop Value Chain

• Strengths
• Areas where sector already has

significant investment and/or commercial activity

• Innovation may still be needed

but current investment seems adequate to address

• Opportunities
• Areas where innovation is

needed to address current or known challenges

• Areas where investments are not

currently being made either for R&D or to support commercialization

See attached spreadsheet outlining identified strengths and weakness by crop using the framework from slide 3

Research Gap Identification

Proposed PIC investments were mapped onto Current State Assumption that sector strengths do not require additional investment from PIC Investments prioritized (gap within crop, impact on sector, growth / market

• pportunity)

Top 3 gaps per crop value chain proposed for discussion

• Human nutrition data to support canola protein

consumption

• Nutrient management innovations that support

sustainable production

• Processing technology to reduce fibre in canola

meal

Canola

• Starch utilization
• Human nutrition benefits
• Breeding solutions to quality and anti-nutrition

Peas

• Breeding solutions to production, quality and

anti-nutrition

• Human nutrition benefits
• Processing technology for other pulses

Other Pulses

• Breeding for performance and agronomic

improvement

• Technology to support biomass utilization
• Innovations in use of hemp protein in food

applications

Hemp

Call for Expressions of Interest – Round 3

• Check in with Industry that

we have identified the right research gap

• Another layer of analysis

below the top line gaps

• Proactive and iterative

proposal development

Ecosystem Strategy

ECOSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT

Eight Priority Areas

Regulatory Reform Global Brand Infrastructure Access to Capital Indigenous Engagement IP Literacy Talent & Skills Data & ICT Management

Ecosystem priorities are activities that build capacity in the sector. Investment in the ecosystem will ensure that the results of technology projects are fully realized. For example, a new technology will have limited success without a market to sell its product or a regulatory environment that is too burdensome to get a product to commercialization.
