The Ohio Bioproducts Innovation Center (OBIC) in conjunction with the Ohio Soybean Council and PolymerOhio has launched an initiative to accelerate commercialization of soy-based technologies. The Cell to Sell Soy Technology program is a portfolio management system which accelerates innovation by leveraging resources to address unmet market needs.

We encourage those who have developed technologies related to soy-based materials to complete the submission process included on this website. The basic submission will describe the technology with sufficient detail and relative metrics about its current status.

All submissions will be evaluated relative to its stage in the commercialization process, relevance to Ohio collaborators, and market potential. The goal is to assemble as many soy technologies as possible into the database, evaluate them, and perform a techno-economic analysis on the top technologies in a group session. The process is expected to surface high potential soy products with industrial applications.

This project is aimed at researchers, industry organizations, government institutions, producers and developers working with soy-based bioproducts. Those looking to accelerate commercialization of their technology or increase growth rate in the marketplace can benefit from participating in this initiative. More information is available on the program on our frequently asked questions page.

The deadline for submitting the survey is December 16, 2008.
