A WiSys-led coalition of over 60 partners has been selected as one of 29 semifinalists to advance in the National Science Foundation’s Regional Innovation Engine (NSF Engine) program.

The key objective of this initiative is to create a thriving circular bioeconomy – where agricultural waste and byproducts are converted into new revenue streams for farmers and food processors and valuable products for consumers. The coalition aims to accomplish this by harnessing Wisconsin’s unique strengths: a large and diverse agricultural sector, world-class research and educational institutions, and a robust food processing and manufacturing industry.
