SpringBoard 2025: Driving Innovation in Ag-Based Products and Materials

The Illinois Soybean Association, together with Institute for Work and the Economy and Illinois Innovation Network, is hosting its inaugural SpringBoard event on April 15-16 at Distillery Labs in Peoria, Illinois.

This is a key developmental opportunity for faculty, students, and others working in the space of biomanufacturing and the broader ecosystem for translation of agricultural products into manufacturing.

SpringBoard 2025 is the premier event uniting researchers, industry leaders, and investors to spark innovation in non-food products and bio-based materials derived from soybeans and other crops. This dynamic gathering is designed to fuel collaboration, accelerate commercialization, and expand market opportunities for ag-based products.

Be part of the conversation shaping the future of sustainable materials. Discover cutting-edge advancements, connect with key decision-makers, and position yourself at the forefront of Illinois’ thriving innovation pipeline.

ISA recognizes the limited travel funding available to faculty and students, and has capacity for travel support through indication during the registration process.

Don’t just watch innovation happen—be part of it. Join us at SpringBoard 2025!

Registration is FREE
