Our Story

Who We Are

At CFIN, we fund transformative foodtech projects, stimulate collaboration, and foster a growing community of food and beverage professionals. We’ve built the fastest growing and most engaged food business community in the country and our members come from across the globe, representing all parts of the food value chain.   

What We Do

We connect the Canadian food and beverage ecosystem to new ideas, opportunities, and technologies to increase collaboration and position Canada as a global leader in food innovation.

What We’re Focused On

We have three key strategic pillars -- Smart Product & Process Development; Food Ecosystem Sustainability; and Agile & Safe Supply Chains. If you’re developing a food innovation around any of these three pillars – let us know, we’d love to fund you!
