The "Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick" is developing an applied research focused bio-refinery that will have production scale fermentation equipment manned by expert staff allowing university researchers and biorefinery and industrial fermentation companies to scale-up and validate their technologies prior to production roll-out or licensing. This commercialization and training center can play a key role in biorefinery and fermentation research and technology, product and process development in Atlantic Canada where the bioindustry is currently worth in excess of $60 million and employs over 2000 people. Regional universities, bioenergy research institutions and SMEs are using bacteria and yeast fermentation to produce innovative biobased products such as biofuels, enzymes and biorenewable chemicals. For these innovators, there exists a capacity gap between the laboratory scale and the full scale production required by stakeholders in the
