​Thank you to everyone who made Global Biotech Week 2024 a success.
Watch for information about the 2025 program and please consider sponsoring Global Biotech Week this year!
In Saskatchewan, Global Biotech Week is coordinated by Ag-West Bio, with the support of a local organizing committee.

What is Global Biotech Week?

BIOTECanada, Canada’s biotechnology industry association introduced the first National Biotechnology Week in 2003, encouraging provincial industry associations to create industry and outreach events. The goal was simple: to increase awareness of biotechnology and to celebrate science.

The City of Regina and The City of Saskatoon have proclaimed the week of September 22 to 28 as Global Biotech Week! ​
