The Centre for Research and Innovation in the Bio-Economy provides financial support for the commercialization of research and innovation findings while transferring new technologies to industry in Ontario, Canada and globally. CRIBE will facilitate the creation of new products, new processes, new businesses, new jobs and new wealth for Ontario’s forest dependent communities.
Since 2009, CRIBE has deployed $27 Million in innovation funding throughout Ontario.
CRIBE is currently supporting innovative projects through our Nexfor Funding Challenges.
