The Protein Industries Canada program supports agriculture companies by supplying protein-rich resources, such as beans and rape seed. The technological developments necessary to do so efficiently is a potential boom for Dutch companies. The ‘Protein Cluster’ formed in East Netherlands is an international platform for entrepreneurs in the plant-based protein industry.
