"We are grateful for the support from all three government agencies as we continue our important work of developing dehydration technology for food, food cultures, and for the production of stable vaccines and antibodies at room temperature," said Dr. Durance. "In addition to our own shareholders, government funding has been an integral aspect of EnWave’s continued development and it is encouraging to see that significant research and development initiatives in the Canadian private sector are rewarded.
