Opportunities for the Seed Industry • What is Protein Industries Canada • Project Pipeline • Research Gap Analysis • Ecosystem Strategy
PROTEIN INDUSTRIES CANADA Vision – Canada is a world leader in plant protein. Mission – Invest collaboratively to accelerate innovation and the competitiveness of the Canadian plant protein sector. Western Canada is poised be a reliable supplier of high quality plant based foods and ingredients that meet a growing consumer demand for plant based ingredients and foods.
Protein Industries Canada • Member based organization • Invest $300 M over the next four years to grow that value added and food processing sector • Develop a lasting plant protein ecosystem We need new thinking and new approaches
Protein Industries Canada Investments Technology Ecosystem • Co-investment with private • How do we help ensure a sector companies. competitive business environment? • Creation of new producers, • How do we help incent new technologies and services to help grow the value added approaches within the processing sector. ecosystem?

Research Gap Analysis
Current State Evaluation By Crop Value Chain • Strengths • Opportunities • Areas where sector already has • Areas where innovation is significant investment and/or needed to address current or commercial activity known challenges • Innovation may still be needed • Areas where investments are not but current investment seems currently being made either for adequate to address R&D or to support commercialization See attached spreadsheet outlining identified strengths and weakness by crop using the framework from slide 3
Proposed PIC investments were mapped onto Current State Assumption that sector strengths do not require additional investment from Research Gap PIC Identification Investments prioritized (gap within crop, impact on sector, growth / market opportunity) Top 3 gaps per crop value chain proposed for discussion
• Human nutrition data to support canola protein consumption Canola • Nutrient management innovations that support sustainable production • Processing technology to reduce fibre in canola meal • Starch utilization Peas • Human nutrition benefits • Breeding solutions to quality and anti-nutrition
Other • Breeding solutions to production, quality and anti-nutrition • Human nutrition benefits Pulses • Processing technology for other pulses • Breeding for performance and agronomic improvement Hemp • Technology to support biomass utilization • Innovations in use of hemp protein in food applications
Call for Expressions of Interest – Round 3 • Check in with Industry that we have identified the right research gap • Another layer of analysis below the top line gaps • Proactive and iterative proposal development
Ecosystem Strategy
ECOSYSTEM DEVELOPMENT Regulatory Global Brand Reform Eight Priority Areas Ecosystem priorities are activities that build capacity in the sector. Access to Infrastructure Capital Investment in the ecosystem will ensure that the results of technology projects are fully realized. Indigenous IP Literacy Engagement For example, a new technology will have limited success without a market to sell its product or a regulatory environment that is too burdensome to get a product to commercialization.
