For 20 years, the ABIC Foundation operated Agricultural Bioscience International Conference, an international conference series with a vision of “creating value in agriculture, food, health, energy, and bio-based industries for the benefit of humankind.” The final conference took place in 2018 in China.
ABIC has re-emerged as the Agricultural Bioscience Innovation Centre with the goal of promoting science as a powerful tool for addressing global challenges. In 2020, ABIC received a funding boost from Saskatoon’s Brent Zettl of ZYUS Life Sciences, with the goal of benefiting Saskatchewan entrepreneurs through education, with the Beyond Entrepreneurship training program, developed and managed by Ag-West Bio.
