Fall 2019 Forum, September 10-11, Montreal, QC
The BDC Fall Forum had record attendance and included Forest Products Technical Managers, Biorenewable Process Companies, Government Officials, and others. The presentations on Government Policy Efforts and Issues, Commercial Progress of Biorenewable Processes, and Early Stage Processes were well received.
The tour of the National Research Council (NRC) laboratories in Montreal focused on lignin-based thermoplastics and biocomposites was very professionally handled by the staff and was a highlight of the trip.
