Manning Fulton is proud to sponsor this event. This is a project of the AgBiotech Initiative supported by the NC AgBiotech Advisory Council. North Carolina is a leading center of agricultural biotechnology research and industry, and the Triangle region is home to one of the most impressive clusters of commercial and academic activity driving global innovation across food and ag applications. We believe the world-class professionals working in our local companies and universities are a unique strength that truly distinguishes NC as the global hub for agricultural biotechnology. Join friends and colleagues from our region and share what’s happening in North Carolina’s ag biotech industry! The Ag Biotech Professional Forum will be a series held throughout the year providing the opportunity to learn about NC’s diverse ag biotech resources, while also offering a setting for networking and engagement outside of our normal work spaces. This April 16 Kick-Off event will include a short program of speakers highlighting local and national initiatives that are helping to shape how we understand and talk about the impacts and benefits of biotechnology. There will also be industry announcements and an open forum for communication within our industry followed by a networking reception with drinks and hors d’oeuvres.
