In Canada, food and beverage manufacturing cumulates for 290,000 jobs across 6,200 companies, accounting for $92.9 billion in total value of shipments; $39 billion (42%) is from Ontario alone, where 3,000 food processing companies support over 132,000 jobs. The Ontario agri-food cluster is larger than the automotive sector in the province, when annual Ontario agriculture revenues of $50 billion are included. There are 109 food and beverage processors in the Niagara Region alone, and Niagara is home to almost 1,200 food service businesses, and 39% of the land is used for human food production. In order to help Niagara food and beverage companies stay strong and thrive in competitive emerging global markets, Niagara College is proposing to expand, in partnership with local industry and NSERC, the Canadian Food & Wine Institute Innovation Centre (CFWI IC). At CFWI IC, companies access an array of state-of-the-art equipment, expertise and services to support product innovation, process improvement and commercialization, all of which are keys to their success and growth. The emphasis of the Centre is on food and beverages; demand for Niagara Colleges services in this sector and successful projects have come from local companies producing, for example, non-alcoholic beer, frozen curried meals, Greek yogourt toppings, and game meat products. CFWI IC is an integral and key part of the Niagara Region innovation ecosystem, and its team of faculty, students and staff currently offers two axes of services for food and beverage companies: Innovation Solutions and Commercialization Solutions, both of them requested by our local partners.

在加拿大，食品和饮料制造业在6，200家公司中累积了290，000个工作岗位，占总出货量的929亿美元;仅安大略就有390亿美元（42%），其中3，000家食品加工公司支持超过132，000个工作岗位。安大略农业食品集群比该省的汽车行业更大，其中包括安大略农业年收入500亿美元。仅尼亚加拉地区就有109家食品和饮料加工商，尼亚加拉是近1,200家食品服务企业的所在地，39%的土地用于人类食品生产。为了帮助尼亚加拉食品和饮料公司在竞争激烈的新兴全球市场中保持强劲和蓬勃发展，尼亚加拉学院提议与当地行业和NSERC合作，扩大加拿大食品和葡萄酒研究所创新中心（CFWI IC）。在CFWI IC，公司可以获得一系列最先进的设备，专业知识和服务，以支持产品创新，工艺改进和商业化，所有这些都是他们成功和增长的关键。该中心的重点是食品和饮料;尼亚加拉学院在这一领域的服务需求和成功的项目来自当地公司，例如生产无酒精啤酒，冷冻咖喱餐，希腊酸奶配料和野味肉制品。CFWI IC是尼亚加拉地区创新生态系统不可或缺的重要组成部分，其教师，学生和员工团队目前为食品和饮料公司提供两种服务：创新解决方案和商业化解决方案，这两种解决方案都是我们当地合作伙伴要求的。
