Biotech ideas on agenda

A broad-based initiative to spur commercialization in Toronto, whether Wisconsin can compete with alternative fuels and China’s market for biotechnology products are just three of the topics to be covered this week at a conference in Waukesha.

Former Wisconsin Public Service Commission chairman Ave Bie and representatives from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Wisconsin Agri-Service Association and BEST Energies Inc. will discuss whether Wisconsin has the tools to lead in the new economy being created from transforming substances like corn and soybeans into fuel.
