  NZBIO 2010
  Scion is delighted to be once again participating in NZBIO.
  
  Now in its sixth year, NZBIO is a well-established fixture in the New Zealand life sciences calendar, attracting delegates from around the world and all aspects of the life sciences industry. This year’s conference theme, “Advancing a Bio-Based Economy”, highlights the broadening impact of biotechnology across many industries and its growing importance to our economic, social and environmental future. The conference will provide a forum to explore new business opportunities across the spectrum of the bioeconomy.
  
  Scion’s Dr Elspeth MacRae will be presenting on day two of the conference in a session entitled “Capturing Economic Value from Innovative Plant Technologies”. In a satellite Biofuels Forum hosted by the New Zealand and Queensland Biotechnology Alliance (NZAQ), Dr Trevor Stuthridge will talk on the opportunities and technologies for converting biomass to biofuels and biomaterials. Scion will also showcase some of its latest research throughout the event in the conference exhibition area.

  Fieldays 2010
  

  New Zealand National Agricultural Fieldays is the largest agri-business exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere. It attracts in excess of 130,000 visitors from around New Zealand and internationally from 38 different countries. The current exhibition and demonstration space is over 98 acres and boasts over 1,000 exhibitors on 1500 sites.
  
  Scion will again be exhibiting within the Fieldays ‘Premier Feature’, this year being promoted under the banner of “Innovation for Future Profit”. Research projects being highlighted include how Scion is helping leading New Zealand kiwifruit producer ZESPRI reduce the carbon footprint of their products by converting waste kiwifruit into a useful tool. There will also be a chance to preview a user-friendly tool being developed by Scion and AgResearch, with MAF funding, for assessing the economic and environmental benefits of integrated land use. To find out about these projects and much more, visit us on stand PF25, right next to the main entrance of the Mystery Creek Pavilion off M Road.
