�e Prince Edward Island BioAlliance is the cluster of individuals and organizations dedicated to building the bioscience-based economic sector in PEI, with an emphasis on collaborative initiatives in research, business, education, and supporting infrastructure.
Our focus is on bioactive compounds and their application to human, animal, and fish health and nutrition.
From the Limited to the LimitlessThe Prince Edward Island BioAlliance is building on PEI’s existing competencies: successful bioscience businesses; a growing research and development base; technical expertise and resources; natural capital of agri-food, fisheries, marine, and forest resources, and the ability to attract and retain skilled technical and professional human resources within the PEI cluster.
Products currently being produced by PEI’s biotech businesses range from pharmaceutical ingredients used in the treatment of diseases, to replacements for antibiotics in animal feeds, fish health vaccines, nutraceuticals and non-pharma health products.
Working with the Real Power of NaturePrince Edward Island has always been committed to producing healthy, nurturing products from the land and sea. The technological focus of our bioscience cluster includes:• Technologies and products related to bioactive compounds and their application to human,
animal and fish health and nutrition. • Bioproducts, converting biomass to value-added products relating to energy, materials, non-food
crops, and products for environmental remediation.
Freedom to AchievePrince Edward Island is a place where you can be your best. Here you will have more time to follow your passion because life is not about keeping up; it's more about being yourself. Work is not far from home and both get more attention.
Prince Edward Island Bioscience Companies and related research and academic institutions are primarily located in the capital city of Charlottetown, the geographic hub of PEI's Bioscience Cluster. Centered around the University of Prince Edward Island is a concentration of research and academic institutions including; the National Research Council Institute for Nutrisciences and Health, the PEI Health Research Institute, the Atlantic Canada Network on Bioactive Compounds, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada's Research Centre, and the PEI Food Technology Centre.
