Project
Connect and
strengthen Canada’s
Food supply chain
The FCI-Canada Project focuses on creating a national, sector-wide platform
with enterprise-to-enterprise connectivity capabilities, which will help
strengthen Canada’s domestic food supply chain.
Linking food and beverage companies across the country, the FCI-Canada
project will make it easier to recover from COVID-19 and other emerging
issues, as well as diversify Canada’s plant-based food, feed and ingredients
offerings through collaborative partnerships.
In its evolution to FCI-Canada, the national platform will help companies from
across Canada make connections across the value chain by allowing them to
post and search for specific products, services and partners within given
geographic parameters.
Supporting the green transition, the Cirkull Marketplace will enhance industrial
synergies, support circular economy, assets valorization and allow members
to share challenges with the digital community.
