Bioeconomy Institute

The annual Biobased Industry Outlook Conference has established a reputation for being "the" Midwestern event where industry and community leaders, academicians, and government agents gather to learn and share information about manufacturing, distributing, and marketing biobased products. The 2006 conference focussed on the financial, scientific, equipment, and educational investments that will be needed in order for U.S. agriculture to supply a significant portion of U.S. energy needs, while maintaining production of food, feed, fiber, and energy. Targeted audiences include economic development professionals, lenders, venture capitalists, biobased product manufacturers, bioprocessing engineers, agricultural producers, fuel producers, energy providers, and elected officials.
