'From Food to Fuel to Fashion' at BIO 2006 in April

Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) will arrange BIO 2006 in April during 9 to 12, 2006. BIO 2006 is the Biotechnology Industry Organization's annual convention in Chicago at McCormick Place.

The convention is expected to draw 18,000 CEOs, researchers, policymakers, journalists, and venture capitalists for three days of networking and learning. BIO 2006 will feature more than 180 educational sessions and workshops on finance, partnering, R&D, science and policy.

Reporters registered to attend the BIO's annual meeting, BIO 2006, are invited to attend the media brunch, “From Food to Fuel to Fashion: Industrial Biotech Does It All,” which will provide reporters with an opportunity to taste, use, and see products made from microbes and enzymes produced through industrial and environmental biotechnology, as well as learn how industrial biotechnology can enable energy security.

Industrial biotechnology is the enabling technology that is making these new products a reality, by revolutionizing the way consumer products are made — and allowing for the introduction of a whole new wave of consumer products that are bio-based.

Industrial biotechnology harnesses nature's microbial workhorses to convert renewable agricultural feedstocks to fuels, plastics and chemicals. Biotechnology converts the cellulose in plant matter to sugars that can be made into fuels or industrial raw materials.

From the air that we breathe to the cars that wedrive, to the clothes that we wear and the crops that we farm, industrial biotechnology is creating new opportunities for greater energy security and a greener future.
