Turning research into reality

At Agri-Food Discovery Place, we specialize in the critical technology readiness stages between the laboratory bench and  commercial manufacturing and distribution. Our facility is designed to take proof-of-concept discoveries from university academics or private industry, and validate them at a commercially viable scale.

Driven by a commitment to safety and sustainability, we support five key research platforms, ranging from Precision Fermentation to Meat Safety and Microbiological Research. Our work ensures that the next generation of agricultural products — from functional foods to bio-industrial materials — are developed with the highest standards of quality and efficiency.
