Webinar: Innovation for resilient food and health systems: how bioscience is driving transformational impact

Date: February 03, 2026 Time: 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM CST

The world faces mounting pressure to accelerate sustainable innovation at the intersection of food, health and industrial production, but moving from scientific discovery to scaled impact remains complex. From improving crop resilience and reducing environmental footprints to building healthier communities and more sustainable supply chains, bioscience innovations have become critical tools in tackling global sustainability challenges.

This webinar, hosted by Innovation Forum in partnership with the Iowa Economic Development Authority will explore how some of the latest bioscience breakthroughs are addressing these pressing issues. We’ll look at emerging trends shaping the next wave of sustainable innovation, the technologies driving impact, and how organisations are applying bioscience.

As a case study, we’ll look at how Iowa is emerging as a key hub for the biosciences, bringing together agriculture technology, medical innovation, and industrial biotechnology in one ecosystem.

We’ll explore: - Which bioscience breakthroughs from the past year are driving measurable sustainability impact, and how they came about. - What to watch for in 2026: scaling technologies, new applications, and the role of advanced technology in enabling sustainable innovation. - What drives success in biosciences: fostering innovation internally, building strategic partnerships, and leveraging ecosystems to deliver sustainable solutions.

Hear from: - Patrick Wood, chief financial officer, Kemin - Sam Eathington, executive vice president, chief technology and digital officer, Corteva - Mike Roof, chief technology officer vaccines & immunotherapeutic, Iowa State University - Steve Montgomery, vice president of core research and development, Cargill

This webinar is for professionals in biosciences, innovation, sustainability, and corporate strategy, including R&D managers, investors, and policymakers interested in advancing sustainable biotechnology.
