The United Soybean Board (USB) is a farmer-funded organization that helps fund research to develop and commercialize industrial applications using chemical derivatives from U.S.-grown soybeans. Renewable by nature, U.S. soy can be used as a raw material in a diverse group of surfactants. Funded by USB, Battelle Memorial Institute has developed a platform technology to produce a unique class of surfactants for use in laundry and cleaning applications using high oleic soybean oil to improve performance, such as the removal of coffee and make-up stains.  Today, more manufacturers are turning to renewable resources for raw materials, and soy offers a number of advantages including performance, versatility, cost and sustainability. USB-funded successes include soy-based paints and coatings, polyurethane foam, composites, adhesives, and rubber being used by such market leaders as Sherwin-Williams, Rust-Oleum, Ford Motor Company, Lear Corporation, John Deere, Columbia Forest Products and Goodyear. In addition to surfactants, USB is currently funding research to develop new products for asphalt, lubricants, and oil and gas exploration. The USB represents more than 600,000 U.S. soybean farmers.

Through a joint effort, the 3-year H2020 project ENABLING intends to develop the great potential of the bio-based industry, encouraging the creation of efficient and structured biomass supply chains for the production of bio-based products (BBP). To do so, ENABLING proposes tools and methodologies nurturing collaboration and knowledge transfer among practitioners in the sector, through:

– The Best Practices Atlas, an interactive platform hosting best practices in Europe that are wholly or partly transferable to other regions, or serve as an inspiration for partners in the value chain.

-Coaching Activities, available through an online simple questionnaire, support biomass producers or the BBP industry for the uptake of emerging best practices and help the applicants figure out more details about the bio-economy and its component.

-The Biomass Trade Platform that allows biomass producers and biomass processors to search and offer biomass residues and by-products, bio-based products as well as services in the different sectors of bio-economy.

At the event we strive not only to bring you to the same location at the same time as your customers/suppliers/peers, we strive to ensure you meet face-to-face with each and every one of your target contacts and to provide you with the time you need to have multiple unhurried conversations with them and build a lasting business relationship:

• A pre-event informal introduction the evening before the conference
• A minimum of five hours’ networking built into the two day conference agenda
• A networking grid which enables you to make your target contacts aware you are looking for them
• The option to join either social drinks or dinner during the evening of Day One
• On-site team will assist you in locating your hard-to-find target contacts & make face-to-face introductions

Of course, if there is anybody you are unable to meet over the two days, Active Communications International’s event team will do their best to initiate contact after the event.

Active Communications International is doing everything to ensure that all its events go ahead as advertised, returning to the much-missed and valuable face-to-face interaction as soon as possible.  In order to ensure the events are delivered as safely as possible, venues are chosen and procedures are adjusted in line with the relevant local and regulations and guidelines.

These have been exceptionally challenging times with very fast-moving updates. As we get closer to an event we look at each one individually, paying careful heed to local regulations, but without ignoring the international situation. Whatever happens, Active Communications International will safeguard the investments that attendees have made by either automatically moving it to the new dates of the event or a full credit will be provided for use when booking a future event.
