OGIRC IN THE NEWS

The Fall 2012 edition of Come Innovate, the Erie Innovation and Commercialization Quarterly, featured an article on the OGIRC’s Cultivating Natural Bioactives conference – its program and contents.  In his article, Ed Lui restated the importance of research and innovation to advance and sustain business development in natural health products and functional foods which was a focus of the conference.  Presentations by, and panel discussions with, various stakeholders from agriculture through to regulatory agencies demonstrated the importance of combining innovation and research with collaboration and communication, all of which are critical at every stage of the value chain.
