Brent Kaiser, Professor of Legume Biology and Bid Lead at the University of Sydney’s Alt Protein CRC, said the event is a great opportunity for industry members to identify opportunities for collaboration.
“It’s very expensive to do R&D, particularly if you’re a new start-up that has to invest in the basic infrastructure of equipment and materials to actually do the research, and then there’s the labour and the time to make it happen,” he said.
“So bringing universities and various research entities in the same room with industry partners is an ideal way to identify where there might be potential partnerships and collaborations, and where there are mutual interests. Then we can get the universities and the resources focused on supporting this new industry as it moves forward.”
