Canada’s food sector has incredible potential, and CFIN exists to help unlock it.
Since 2021, we’ve been on a mission to empower every Canadian food and beverage business to reach its full potential by investing in and adopting innovation to drive competitiveness, productivity, long-term resilience, and global leadership.
At the heart of what we do is connection. CFIN funds transformative foodtech projects, sparks collaboration between unexpected partners and fosters a vibrant, fast-growing community of food and beverage professionals.
The food sector is naturally busy and often fragmented, but CFIN’s YODL platform and Regional Innovation Directors (RIDs) are helping break down regional and subsector barriers, making it easier for businesses to connect, collaborate, and innovate. In fact, we’ve built the most engaged food business network in the country, bringing together people from every aspect of the food sector, working both Canada and around the world.
We connect food innovators and adopters, helping new technologies take root and drive real-world economic impact.
Whether it's through project funding, partnerships, milestone-driven peer groups, or access to cutting-edge technologies, we make it easier for food and beverage businesses to innovate and thrive.
We always stay laser-focused on the future.
Our innovation priorities are designed to target global opportunities and critical market gaps—areas where Canadian companies can stand out and lead. By investing in transformative projects that deliver real value across the sector, we’re helping build a stronger, smarter food industry for the next generation.
