Join biotech pioneers in Des Moines

This award will emphasise the important goal of using biotech innovation to develop sustainable bio-based value-chains.  By honouring those who have worked successfully toward this goal in the private sector, government or academia, this award will serve as a lasting memorial to the original vision of George Washington Carver who, over a century ago, pioneered the creation and commercialisation of sustainable biobased products and materials and energy derived from renewable agricultural feedstock.
