To kick-off 2024, New Harvest, District 3 Innovation Centre, and Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC)* invite you to the first of a series of Chatham House virtual events designed to spark connections and innovation within the cellular agriculture community in Canada.

After much discussion and planning, we realized the need for a platform to share valuable information and catalyze meaningful relationships among key players and enthusiasts of cell ag in Canada. We’re thrilled to announce this initiative that we hope can lead to deeper conversations and impactful collaborations in Canada’s cellular agriculture landscape.

Our goal is to cultivate a vibrant and inclusive environment where participants can dive into enlightening discussions, forge lasting connections, and collectively contribute to the advancement of open knowledge in cellular agriculture.

We’re excited to announce that our inaugural event will feature a dialogue with four leaders from Canada’s groundbreaking cell ag startups.
