The APBI is a newly opened 75000ft2 CFIA registered facility offering privately accessed, fully serviced food processing suites of varying size, design and leasing costs. It is complimented with shared shipping and receiving bays, cold storage.

The APBI is dedicated to assisting food processors in the scale up and commercialization of new products and technologies so they can eventually establish their own facilities. Early stage business entrepreneurs and the more established food organizations will find the Incubator and its campus of services a unique avenue for developing and processing an array of food products for the value-added market.

The APBI, along with the Food Processing Development Centre (FPDC) and the Business Commercialization Branch provides each client a campus of services supporting their scientific, operational and business development needs. These services can be customized to fit individual client requirements. Typically, a new processor will desire mentoring assistance with experts in processing technology, food safety and HACCP implementation, safe and cost efficient operating practices, business plan development and industry networking. Depending on eligibility, funding assistance may also be available.
