What Industry Wants: Trends Shaping University Partnerships in Food & Agriculture
Thursday, September 25, 1:00-2:00pm ET

As food and agriculture companies race to decarbonize, digitize, and deliver healthier, more sustainable products, they’re actively turning to universities for new technologies and applied research. But what makes an academic proposal actually stand out, and how do one-off projects become long-term industry partnerships?

Join Eden Wallace, Partnerships Lead at Halo, for a look inside the R&D trends shaping food and ag innovation today. Based on insights from over 60 corporate partnership requests on Halo’s platform, Eden will share how food and agriculture companies are sourcing innovation from universities and the common traits of technologies that are selected.

You'll Learn:
- Where companies are currently investing across agtech and food science
- What proposal traits make industry say yes (and what gets passed over)
- Ways to position your food and ag researchers for successful industry collaborations

This session is ideal for corporate relations professionals looking to help their institutions better connect with food and ag industry partners.

*This webinar is available to NACRO members.
