Why Canada? Canada has a rich ecosystem for biomanufacturing R&D and investment. It has specific strengths in RNA production, cell and gene therapy, regenerative medicine, and related delivery systems. With world-class academics, many R&D intensive SMEs, and clinical trial and manufacturing infrastructure, it is an ideal collaboration partner for the UK.

This programme is particularly relevant for businesses developing innovative technologies that enable the development and manufacture of novel biological therapeutic products and delivery systems, including, but not limited to:

  • vaccines (prophylactic, therapeutic, various platforms)
  • therapeutic proteins
  • advanced therapy medicinal products, including messenger RNA, small interfering RNA, gene therapies, cell therapies, engineered tissues
  • other biological based therapies, such as bacteriophage or engineered probiotics
  • viral and non-viral, for example Lipid Nano Particles (LNP) platforms, including their components and payloads, as delivery systems for proteins and nucleic acids
