Grape & Wine Cluster Updates & Events

The national Grape & Wine Cluster activities will have an impact in all provinces across Canada involved in the grape and wine industry. Therefore, knowledge mobilization and technology transfer initiatives are must be accessible to end-users across the country to ensure maximum adoption and impact. Through partnering with academic, federal and provincial research institutions across the country involved in the cluster, new Knowledge and Technology Transfer (KTT) initiatives will be developed and pre-existing , successful programs exploited for this purpose. Each activity has their own KTT initiatives, while CGCN is leading Activity 2 which is exclusively focused on sharing the KTT developed in the Cluster with the Canadian grape & wine industry.
