The Spokes: Connected Research & Industry Partners

ARSI collaborates with a network of research partners, growers, academic institutions, and industry innovators. Each spoke benefits from:

  • Access to advanced analytical capabilities
  • Support in validating, standardizing, and profiling botanical materials
  • Joint research opportunities in natural health products, nutraceuticals, and pharmaceuticals
  • Technology translation support for commercialization pathways

This structure ensures knowledge flows both ways, enabling partners to tap into centralized expertise while also contributing data, materials, and innovation directions.

How the Hub & Spoke Model Creates Value
