Our mission is to contribute to the global adoption of industrial biomanufacturing, and enable bio-based solutions to achieve price parity with fossil-derived incumbents.
Our focus is on connecting commercialised bio producers with customers, and improving the success rates of startups and scaleups.
We’ll achieve our mission through continuing to embed ourselves within the sector, arrange targeted commercial meetings and curate world-class discussion and debate.
Bio Innovations Midwest takes a unique “meeting-first” approach, prioritizing highly targeted, pre-arranged 1-2-1 commercial meetings that are key to accelerating growth in the sector.
By removing the element of chance from traditional networking, this format offers the most cost-effective and time-efficient way for you to connect with the new customers and partners needed to scale your businesses.
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.
With the market opportunities afforded by the bioeconomy boosted by Biden’s Executive Order on Advancing Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Innovation in 2022, conditions are perfect for Nebraska to continue its push into the biobased value chain and become the prime biomanufacturing hub in the U.S.
