data collection business planning business strategies market researchWe are entering the business planning and market research stages of our business. We have other contractors that will be collecting data and submitting it for incorporation into the full business plan. We can review their scope and adjust according to the agreed upon scope with your project. The intention is to assess the submissions of the contractors, identify gaps, and provide suggestions on how to fill those gaps. Of primary importance is the overall analysis of business strategy following acquisition of the data from the contractors, and how this is presented in our business plan for funding agencies and collaborators.

About the company
AgriTech North is an Indigenous- (Métis), disabled-, and LGBTQ-owned social enterprise corporation with a mission to grow nutritious food for Northern Ontario, focusing on Far North indigenous communities, that is of a consistently high quality, available year-round, and provided at a competitive price. The facility will be located in Dryden, Ontario, Canada to harness the waste heat, energy, and carbon from the Domtar Mill, establishing a Biohub with carbon negative operations. Dryden is ideal because of favorable transportation capabilities throughout the region and workforce access. The revenue from the food sold will ensure it is self-sustaining long-term as a research center. After proving the success of novel methods, AgriTech North will expand successful research projects throughout Canada to tackle a wider variety of food security issues throughout the country, made possible in part via several academic and indigenous partnerships.
