In August 2017 $ETST signed an agreement with the Centre de Développement Bioalimentaire du Québec (CDBQ), a major force in the agro-food industry in Canada. Based in La Pocatière, Quebec, CDBQ specializes in helping companies develop the processes needed to take a prototype agro-food or nutraceutical product to industrial-scale production for the marketplace. CDBQ boasts a bio-food incubator, a 30,000 square foot $10 million facility that houses seven separate factories equipped with cutting-edge equipment and technology.
