Twitter Live: Plant Based Summit Day 1

The recently-held Plant-Based Summit in Lille, France, have shown continued optimism for growth of bio-based economies worldwide despite the decline in crude oil and petrochemicals prices worldwide.

However, it remains to be seen whether the burgeoning R&D investments in Europe will soon translate to commercial investments. Below are snippets of information based on several presentations at the Summit, which was organized by the Association for plant-based chemistry (ACDV), in partnership with the InfoPro Digital group.
