“Manitoba has long been a leader in bioscience, and this appointment allows us to highlight the incredible work being done across our province,” said Andrea Ladouceur, President of BAM. “From innovative medicines and advanced manufacturing to the groundbreaking research in our province, Manitoba’s bioscience sector is well-positioned to contribute to and benefit from meaningful trade discussions.”

Manitoba’s bioscience industry has a substantial impact on the provincial and national economies. According to Statistics Canada 2023, medicines – including over-the-counter drugs, vitamins, and antibiotics – were Manitoba’s top export to the US valued at over $2.5 billion. This achievement underscores the industry’s potential for continued growth and global leadership.

By joining the US Trade Council, BAM will ensure that Manitoba’s bioscience sector is well-represented in discussions that influence trade policies, international collaborations, and economic strategies. The association remains committed to supporting its members in accessing global markets and fostering innovation.
