Working with Industry
JBEI understands that our scientific advances need to translate into commercially viable technologies, methods, and tools. Partnering with industry helps us achieve this goal. Companies accelerate innovation through sponsoring research and illuminate commercial challenges that might not be apparent from the lab bench. Private industry is also the vehicle to develop JBEI inventions into commercial products and bring them to market.
Companies partner with JBEI to leverage our expertise and unique resources.
Sponsoring research often provides the greatest benefit by leveraging
JBEI's multidisciplinary talent and technology to provide your company with
research that might not be possible otherwise or might be too costly and
time consuming to undertake internally. Companies may also place a
researcher at JBEI for training or collaborative research through our
Visiting Industry Scholars program, join our Technological - Economic
Modeling Consortium, sponsor a post-doctoral researcher, or collaborate
informally when appropriate.
The JBEI Industry Advisory Committee is comprised of leading companies involved with one or more aspects of the biofuels industry to inform JBEI about technological bottlenecks, infrastructure, and scale up challenges. All researchers at JBEI are invited to participate in these highly interactive meetings and a poster session is one of the highlights.
