UBC receives $7M from Dan On Foundation for Food and Beverage Innovation Centre

The University of British Columbia has received $7M from the Dan On Foundation to fund the construction of the Food and Beverage Innovation Centre (FBIC), which will open in 2025. FBIC will support BC’s agri-food industry with state-of-the-art technologies and facilities, including a processing lab, a food packaging lab, and three innovation bays. It will foster research partnerships with industry, growers, and government that explore innovative methods for preserving food, reducing waste, and upcycling byproducts. The centre will be named the Dan On Food and Beverage Innovation Centre in recognition of this donation.
