Description
Academic-industry collaborations are essential for accelerating alternative proteins because they help build robust talent pipelines, create clear commercialization pathways for academic research, and drive alignment on priority research questions, challenges, and potential solutions. To encourage greater collaboration, we need to build better, standardized frameworks and platforms for coordinating connection and partnership across academic and industry stakeholders. GFI’s Alternative Protein Researcher Directory is one such resource that lowers the activation energy to explore potential partnerships.
