Innovation Saskatchewan is responsible for implementing the province’s innovation priorities and helping grow Saskatchewan’s tech sector. Effective April 2022, this includes operation of the Innovation Place technology parks in Saskatoon and Regina.
The Agricultural Bioscience Innovation Centre (ABIC), formerly the Agricultural Bioscience International Conference, has re-emerged with not only a new name, but a new focus on business training, while continuing its goal of promoting science as a powerful tool for addressing global challenges.
