The BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology is a transformative event, bringing together business executives, government officials, and academic researchers from around the world to share expert insight on policy issues and new technologies to help create a more sustainable planet.
Iowa is home to some of the largest and most developed agricultural research institutions in the world. Attend a facility or laboratory tour arranged by BIO and the Iowa industrial biotech community. Tours are open to all attendees and will take place during the event.
Industry leaders such as ADM, Bayer, Cargill, Corteva Agriscience, DSM, DuPont Industrial Biosciences, POET, REG, Syngenta and many others have operations in Iowa. Iowa is home to the second largest acres of harvestable biomass. Forty-three processing facilities in Iowa produce more than 1/4 of U.S. ethanol, and 12 refineries produce 16% of U.S. biodiesel. Iowa’s legislature created America’s first Biochemical Production Tax Credit in 2016, which the U.S. Department of Agriculture calls the “strongest existing incentive package for the global biobased chemical industry.
