The Government of Canada Strategic Innovation Fund (SIF) has distributed more than $36M to the five SIF networks to bolster collaboration between organizations—including postsecondary institutions—in emerging technology sectors. The Canadian Food Innovation Network and the Canadian Agri-Food Automation and Intelligence Network will use their respective shares of the funding for projects in the agri-food sector. The other three networks—the Clean Resource Innovation Network, Natural Products Canada, and Mining Innovation Commercialization Accelerator—will pursue projects related to natural resources, such as oil, gas, and mining.
