First Provincial Forum on Agri-innovation in Moncton to Bring Together Business Leaders, Economic Development Agents and Academic Community

The very first provincial forum on agri-innovation in the agricultural sector is set to take place this coming Monday, October 29, at the Four Points by Sheraton Moncton Hotel. This inaugural event will feature presentations, discussions and success stories. Adi Treasurywala, president of the business development consulting firm ArrowCan Partners Inc., will be the keynote speaker.

This forum was organized by the research team at the Université de Moncton specializing in this discipline. Its objective is to showcase ways in which innovation has been successfully used to resolve real problems as well as highlight the resources available to industry through governments, the Université de Moncton and the economic development ecosystem.

A panel on success stories in New Brunswick will explore the event themes, while the closing panel on “Throwing Cannabis into the Mix” will be of particular relevance post-October 17. The panelists will explore the business opportunities that cannabis and hemp present as a crop, in edibles, in natural products and much more.

The full program of this forum on agri-innovation is available at the event website.
