Research Creating Manufacturing Opportunities
In 2016, APPTI—then called Agenda 2020—published a set of technology roadmaps focused on energy, natural resource efficiency and new bio-based products. Support from its member companies, a grant from the National Institute of Science and Technology, and cooperation with its university partners and affiliates made it possible.
Now, just two years later, APPTI is overseeing a suite of projects estimated at more than $2,200,000 of member and partner investment over the three-year period 2016-18, with more projects expected in the near term. Of this amount, member companies are contributing about half of the funding; the Renewable Bioproducts Institute has funded about 15%; and the Federal government, about a third, from the Department of Energy and the US Forest Service.
