WHY NEBRASKA?
Nebraska is the first state to have a bioeconomy roadmap in place – the Nebraska BioEconomy Initiative launched in August 2024 – which aims to advance Nebraska’s economic strength, fortify rural communities, and create sustainable, high-paying careers in the bioeconomy.
The state already has a solid base in bio-processing capacity, including facilities like the Blair campus, housing a cluster of major producers including Cargill, NatureWorks, Novonesis, Evonik, and Corbion.
Conditions are perfect for Nebraska to continue its push into the biobased value chain and become the prime biomanufacturing hub in the U.S.
