The BioCommons Research Park is a good investment for P.E.I., according to the CEO of an Island business.

John Rowe says Island Abbey will open the doors to its new facility in the $30-million industrial park three weeks from now.

That will allow Honibe to quadruple its production space, and will mean the Honey Drop food and throat lozenges can both be manufactured on the same day.

That's something Rowe says has not been possible at Island Abbey's current location in the West Royalty Industrial Park.

Rowe believes the BioCommons will be a success for more than just his company.

“The BioCommons is well on its way to becoming what I believe will be a centre of excellence across the country if not around the world.”

“Our affiliation has already opened doors for us with potential collaborators in many different countries as well as attracting people from off-Island and work with people in this sector,” Rowe said.

Honibe is one of three companies that have committed to move into the BioCommons.
