A Million Minds in the Advanced Bioeconomy

Two of our most popular editorial features return today in their 2018 livery— the corporate 5-Minute Guides and the “4 Minutes with…” series that introduces you to some of the Million Minds in the Advanced Bioeconomy, who gather together in different parts of the Digest Cinematic Universe, including ABLC and the Bioenergy by Biofuels Digest online community. We call it Million Minds in recognition of the 2.9 million Digest readers around the world, and we wrote about Million Minds as far back as 2014 when we first passed the Million Reader mark.

With Bioeconomy Networking Season underway and ABLC 2018 nigh upon us, we’re introducing more than 30 individuals and organizations today who will be on the floor at ABLC 2018.

They’re a lot like, well, people you know. Biologists, ChemEs, operators, policy specialists, finance professionals, lawyers, consultants, suppliers — many of them at the most-senior level, but far from all — and from all parts of the globe. They’re all well worth knowing no matter what is on your Networking Shopping List for this spring.
