Grants and Contributions

The purpose of this CanExport Innovation agreement is to support Canadian organizations to carry out activities related to pursuing opportunities that would lead to establishing new collaborative Research and Development (R&D) partnerships between the Recipient and foreign organizations in order to support R&D on the Recipient’s technology and advance its commercialization.

This project aims to develop a new biologic agent for Spiderwort’s cellulose-based biomaterial after its implantation in humans.

Participation in the Canadian Alternative Protein Co-Innovation Mission to London, UK September 25-29, 2022. Delegation led by the National Research Council of Canada Industrial Research Assistance Program (NRC IRAP) with the intent to develop international co-innovation partnerships.

Spiderwort is a pre-clinical biomaterials company developing a novel dermal filler. We are looking for co-innovation partners who already have local credibility and networks within the dermal filler space, have an interest in innovative non-HA fillers, and have relevant regulatory approval know-how. Our goal is to enter the market via continental/central Europe (Germany/Austria) which provides access to the growing filler market with easy access to areas of Eastern Europe where filler innovation is more accepted and barriers to entry can be lower.

The 2 Youth graduates will work on Spiderwort’s cellulose-based material development.

This project seeks to develop and characterize a plant-based and cultivated prototype fish fillet that is nutritious, scaleable, and sustainable when compared to existing raised and/or wild-caught fish.

The emerging clean meat market is gaining considerable traction as consumers are increasingly making food choices based on ethical and environmental concerns. Plant-based meat producers already have products on sale in grocery stores and fast food chains nationwide. In addition, companies developing lab grown meat utilizing animal cells are raising significant investments and are expected to enter the marketplace in the coming years. Spiderwort is a biomaterials company which has developed novel plant-based materials for numerous high value applications, including for the development of clean meat. The goal of this project is to further refine the processes for developing 3D materials for plant- and cell-based meat.
