The Missouri Industries of the Future (IOF) initiative targets the Agriculture Bio-Fuel Development & Life Sciences industries. This U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) funded project will profile the Missouri industries, review the DOE office of Industrial Technologies national roadmap (http://www.oit.doe.gov/agriculture) for relevance to Missouri, plan for delivery of related products and services to Missouri industry, and determine industrial/public/private alliances that should be formed to carry out the IOF strategy.

The partners in this project will develop an action plan, and develop & deliver workshops, training, and deployment activities that facilitate implementation of “Industries of the Future” at the state level. The project is seeking involvement in the alliance from high-level Missouri government officials.

Objectives are to support industry growth and competitiveness in international markets, help Missouri industries compete effectively for national resources, solve environmental issues and improve resource, operational and energy efficiencies.
