Innovation Takes Root 2008 Technical Conference
This first-of-its-kind conference was designed to facilitate and share an exchange of information, expertise, and innovations within the bioplastics industry on specific technical tracks relevant to the entire supply chain. Innovation Take Root included, but was not exclusive to Ingeo™ biopolymer, and the success of the conference was evidenced by the strong attendance of players from around the world . Representing a diverse set of industries, the attendees shared a common goal – all came from companies looking to reduce their dependence on oil while delivering relevant and performance products that have less impact on the environment and appeal to a discerning eco-aware consumer.
The 236 delegates attending from 149 global companies rated the 2 day conference as very successful, not least because of the wealth of new knowledge that is now in the public arena, set to accelerate the the commercial success of these first-to-market innovators in the field. Organized by NatureWorks as an open forum that included scientists, engineers and manufacturers, the conference showcased 24 companies who contributed presentations throughout the 2 days.
