The AUTM 2011 Central Region Meeting is pleased to provide a new forum, Coffee and Conversation, designed to help industry connect with university technology transfer officers to identify licensing and collaboration opportunities. This new program will arrange introductory meetings between companies in the agricultural biotechnology industry (animal health, veterinary medicine and plant science) and universities. The meetings will be arranged based on the best fit according to the company/university’s interest profiles and are sure to start connections that will go well beyond the meeting.
