GAAP is a privately operated agri-food incubator looking for cutting-edge technologies from rapid-growth companies seeking to improve efficiency, sustainability and profitability within the global agriculture and food sector.​
About GAAP​
The Global Agri-Food Advancement Partnership (GAAP) was founded in 2019 when Ag-West Bio, the Global Institute for Food Security (GIFS), the Saskatchewan Food Industry Development Centre, and Innovation Saskatchewan came together to fill a critical gap in the agri-food innovation ecosystem.
​
GAAP was built on a simple but powerful idea — that many agri-food start-ups have groundbreaking innovations but need support navigating the path from concept to commercialization. That’s where GAAP comes in.
​
We help early-stage companies overcome the unique challenges of growing in the agri-food sector — from high upfront costs for specialized equipment and long development timelines, to complex regulatory pathways and scaling hurdles.
​
Our facility provides entrepreneurs with access to essential resources such as lab and office space, specialized equipment, and greenhouse facilities — helping them focus on innovation rather than infrastructure.
​
By bridging these gaps, GAAP strengthens Saskatchewan’s agri-food ecosystem, attracts top talent and investment, and accelerates innovation — enabling companies to bring their products to market faster and more efficiently.
