Though their ideas and innovations are plentiful\, the opportunities and access to capital for leaders of color are not. Content will focus on ways the SPECTRUM community can help ensure that communities of color gain equal access to resources\, services\, and opportunities.Inclusion – An inclusive economy ensures that resources are fairly distributed across communities and opportunities are created for all to thrive. We will identify ways to build inclusive networks that disrupt dominant negative narratives and empower people to share ideas and collaborate. Action – Closing the racial wealth gap is an economic and moral necessity. How do we recognize and support people of color who are on the frontlines designing solutions through businesses\, investing\, and creating a positive impact within their communities?  Highlight what is working locally\, regionally\, nationally and internationally. How are we sustaining collective action? \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?

DESCRIPTION:The Business of Alt Protein: Intellectual property for alternative protein companiesPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar from the Good Food Institute and Haynes and Boone\, LLP\,  will provide an overview of how to strategically build out intellectual property protection (e.g.\, patents\, trade secrets\, etc.) for innovation in this space. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent description\n\n\n\nTechnological advancements in plant-based and cultivated meat  show promise in mitigating the environmental impact of our food system\, decreasing the risk of zoonotic disease\, and ultimately feeding more people with fewer resources. This webinar from the Good Food Institute and Haynes and Boone\, LLP\,  will provide an overview of how to strategically build out intellectual property protection (e.g.\, patents\, trade secrets\, etc.) for innovation in this space. Haynes and Boone partners Roger Kuan\, Jason Novak\, Ben Pelletier\, and Roger Royse will offer insights on how emerging companies can best position themselves for success—from choosing the right corporate structure to approaching raising capital from venture capital and private equity firms.   \n\n\n\nTopics include:  \n\n\n\nOverview of the types of intellectual property protectionWhen to use patents vs. trade secretsHow to choose the right corporate structurePreparing for financing Exit planningAudience Q&A.\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\n\n\nRoger Kuan is a Partner at Haynes and Boone and chair of the Precision Medicine and Digital Health Practice Group\, where he counsels companies that are uniquely positioned in the convergence of the life/medical sciences and technology industries on how to successfully navigate the complexities of the intellectual property (IP)\, data rights and regulatory challenges they encounter. \n\n\n\nRoger has extensive experience in IP strategy and portfolio management (utility/design patents\, trademarks\, copyrights\, and trade dress)\, data rights strategy\, licensing and technology transactions\, freedom-to-operate clearances\, enforcement\, monetization\, IP due diligence\, and dispute resolution. His practice is focused in the life sciences sector (e.g.\, research tools\, analytical instrumentation/software\, digital therapeutics\, medical devices\, diagnostics\, biomanufacturing equipment\, etc.) with an emphasis in emerging technologies such as Precision Medicine (e.g.\, genomic sequencing platforms\, AI/ML\, computational genomics/bioinformatics\, molecular diagnostics\, companion diagnostics\, etc.)\, Digital Health (e.g.\, mobile apps\, clinical decision support\, software\, digital therapeutics\, AI/ML Imaging Diagnostics\, wearables\, etc.) and 3D printing/bioprinting. \n\n\n\nJason Novak is a Partner in Haynes and Boone’s San Francisco office\, where he focuses on advising entities\, both large and small\, on the various legal issues that can arise with emerging technologies in the food\, healthcare and life sciences industries. Food and Biotech\, as well as Tech and Biotech\, are traditionally disparate technologies that\, when blended together to form many of our most exciting new technologies\, bring forth a combination of unique and interrelated legal issues. \n\n\n\nJason has extensive experience in IP strategy and patent portfolio management\, preparation and prosecution\, oppositions\, counseling\, licensing and technology transactions\, in and out-licensing program development\, freedom-to-operate\, various types of due diligence\, IP training\, and risk recognition and management. He directs that experience to clients in various industries\, particularly in the food\, medical device\, personalized/precision medicine\, digital health\, and life sciences tooling industries. \n\n\n\nBen Pelletier is a partner in the Precision Medicine and Digital Health Practice Group in Haynes and Boone’s San Francisco office. \n\n\n\nHis practice focuses on advising clients in the complex and fast-evolving areas of biology\, medicine\, engineering\, and data science.

SUMMARY:Fantastic fungi and mischievous molds: The role of fungi in advancing the science of alternative proteins
DESCRIPTION:Fantastic fungi and mischievous molds: The role of fungi in advancing the science of alternative proteinsPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Josephine Wee as she discusses how fungal mycelium can provide texture and nutritional value for high moisture alternative meat as well as support cell growth and development for cultivated meat. \n\n\n\n	Share this page on Facebook\n	\n	Share on Facebook\n\n\n	Share this page on Twitter\n	\n	Share on X\n\n\n	Share this page on LinkedIn\n	\n	Share on LinkedIn\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJosephine Wee\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nAssistant Professor\, Penn State University \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar description\n\n\n\nFungi have a long history of safe use in food and food production. Fungi\, such as molds and mushrooms\, transport nutrients and decompose organic matter using a network of filaments known as mycelium. Food-associated fungi can be used for fermentation-derived biomass\, production of single-cell proteins\, and for use as scaffolds for cultivated meat. Join Dr. Josephine Wee\, Assistant Professor of Food Science at The Pennsylvania State University\, as she discusses how fungal mycelium can provide texture and nutritional value for high moisture alternative meat as well as support cell growth and development for cultivated meat. \n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\nDr. Josephine Wee joined the Department of Food Science at The Pennsylvania State University (Penn State) as an Assistant Professor in 2018. She obtained a B.S. in Food Science and dual Ph.D. in Food Science and Environmental Toxicology from Michigan State University. Dr. Wee conducted her postdoctoral fellowship in yeast evolutionary biology at Cornell University. Her research team at Penn State uses genomics and molecular biology to understand the role of fungi in food safety\, quality\, and sustainability. Dr. Wee’s recent research seeks to develop and characterize fungal mycelium as scaffolding material for cultivated meat. \n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming events\n\n\n\nView all events\n\n\n\n\n	\n															\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											McNamara Alumni Center\n																	\n				\n				\n					Bridge2Food North America\n				\n				\n							\n				Join GFI at Bridge2Food North America\, where food industry leaders will gather to explore the latest developments in ingredient innovation… \n\n			\n								\n										\n								\n		\n									\n		\n			\n								\n							\n													October 13\, 2026\n											FAO Headquarters\n																	\n				\n				\n					World Food Forum 2026: Protein diversification for the Global South\n				\n				\n							\n				How can protein diversification strengthen food systems across the Global South?
