A Dow AgroSciences Perspective on the Value of Collaborations with Public Institutions.

Donald Blackburn, Dow AgroSciences, 9330 Zionsville Road, Indianapolis, IN 46268

Collaborations have been integral to the launch of successful new products at Dow AgroSciences.  Differences in goals and policy between public and private sectors can make collaborations challenging to initiate.  However, there can be highly successful results for both sides in a private/public collaboration once the potential roadblocks are resolved.   Dow AgroSciences will continue seek out potential collaborative projects in the near and long-term future.
