Minister Uzoma Asagwara, our new Minister of Health, Seniors, and Long-Term Care, holds a key position in the health sector, which intersects with the bioeconomy in numerous ways. We anticipate fruitful collaboration with Minister Asagwara to drive innovation and health advancements within the biosciences.

BAM is excited about the opportunity to work with the entire NDP government to continue elevating the bioscience industry and ecosystem in our province.
