Looking for the Next ‘Big Thing’ in Technology, Product Development?
Successful food companies are looking beyond their office and plant walls and personnel to find the next “big thing” for a new product line, a new business platform, or to find solutions to everyday product and process development challenges.
If you are charged with finding new opportunities, then head to the Intellectual Property Exchange (IPEx) forum on Sunday afternoon, July 18, at 2:30–4:30 p.m. in Room N427cd. The goal of IPEx is to offer proprietary technology (may be intellectual asset, intellectual capital, or intellectual property) for sale or license. Posters and tabletops will be staffed by IP holders, giving attendees the opportunity to talk innovation exchange. Participating organizations include Virginia Tech, McCormick & Co., General Mills, Scientific Food Solutions LLC, EXERT Juice LLC, Lytone Enterprises Inc., Cornell University, Colorado State University, and Louisiana State University.
