At the BIO World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology and AgTech in Des Moines, Iowa last week, the National Corn Growers Association (NCGA) announced the winners of its Consider Corn Challenge II competition. Three winners were chosen, each with a unique technology to improve a product or process using field corn to produce biobased materials.
The three winners of the Consider Corn Challenge II are ExoPolymer, Inc., based out of San Carlos, California, Sumatra Biorenewables, LLC from Ames, Iowa, and the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Agricultural Research Service in Peoria, Illinois.
