Its 3,000 m² pilot plant is located alongside a 1,100 m² greenhouse, while its headquarters, which also houses laboratories, is perched above the city.

A new complex is currently under construction. The state-of-the-art facility, spreading out over 90,000 m², will house the company’s new headquarters along with operations, R&D, production and all support functions. This new facility will be capable of providing up to 1 billion pandemic vaccine doses annually.

The Triangle is the second-biggest cutting-edge tech hub in the U.S., after Silicon Valley, and the world’s largest research centre.

Medicago works alongside more than 300 companies that employ about 55,000 people in R&D out of this facility.

Medicago USA began its operations in 2010 through a partnership with the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). This 14,500 m² production unit houses a fully automated greenhouse and state-of-the-art extraction and purification system.

In 2020, Medicago opened its new office just north of the City of Toronto near Pearson International Airport, an ideal location that easily accommodates not only employees but also visitors from around the world.
