We are pleased to announce that Bioenterprise Corporation is now a platinum sponsor of Banff Venture Forum 2010!

Bioenterprise Corporation is an Exempt Market Dealer and business accelerator located in Guelph, Ontario, Canada, established to help promote the creation, growth and expansion of businesses in the Agri-Food and Agri-Life Sciences and Bio-Product Industries. Bioenterprise seeks unique agricultural technologies that have high-growth potential. We work with and discover unique, Canadian companies that, in our opinion, are compelling, global opportunities. These companies fill the need for clean, green and healthy technologies, as the emphasis on social responsibility continues to grow within corporations worldwide. Bioenterprise works with investors to both match them with select investment opportunities and to provide due diligence services for opportunities the investor is considering in the ag-bio sector.

Bioenterprise also works with companies, from start-up and early stage to emerging and well-established businesses, acting as coach and catalyst. Through its global network, Bioenterprise garners the critical components most needed to mitigate risks inherent in early stage businesses and to accelerate their growth and expansion. As an Exempt Market Dealer, Bioenterprise provides corporate finance services to the agri-technology and bioproducts sectors. These services include investment preparation, building financial strategies for companies, business plan development / advice as well as sourcing capital funding from a wide variety of sources.

Bioenterprise Corporation is a Not-For-Profit company founded in 2003 through the financial support of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs.
