New Uses Innovation Forum
With record crop yields projected for several regional commodities, the support and expansion of value-added agricultural products within Minnesota and the greater Midwest is of the utmost importance. In addition to increasing current demand, it will spur new demand opportunities as well. To that end, AURI is hosting a New Uses Innovation Forum for Minnesota’s agricultural industry.
The Forum, scheduled for March 22 at the Crowne Plaza, is bringing together experts and entrepreneurs from the new uses arena, R&D, and private sector. Together, they will participate in open discussions about the latest innovations and opportunities for developing new uses for Minnesota grown crops and agricultural processing byproducts. There will be panel discussions, Q&A sessions, networking opportunities and keynote addresses tailored to the interests of Minnesota agriculture. Above all, this will be an event to bring people together under the common goal of encouraging new growth and innovation here in Minnesota.
The Forum’s schedule is as follows:
