SUMMARY:Techno economic models: Turning good food technologies into good food businesses
DESCRIPTION:Techno Economic Models: Turning good food technologies into good food businessesPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTechno Economic Assessment models (TEA’s or TEM’s) are one of the first elements of a business plan for any alternative protein venture. In this talk\, Next Rung Technology’s John Ellersick will present on using TEAs in the commercialization of alternative proteins. \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\nJohn Ellersick\n\n\n\nPresident and Founder\, Next Rung Technology \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar description\n\n\n\nTechno Economic Assessment models (TEA’s or TEM’s) are one of the first elements of a business plan for any alternative protein venture. Their content and complexity can grow from an initial high-level screening tool into one of the key documents supporting major funding milestones. In later stages they may include plant design and materials flow with increasing levels of accuracy and depth to support decisions about scaleup\, CMO opportunities\, operations\, and optimization. \n\n\n\nIn this talk\, Next Rung Technology’s John Ellersick will present on using  TEAs in the commercialization of alternative proteins. Case studies will highlight the creation of initial screening models and how they underpin product\, technical\, financial\, and funding activities. He will also discuss how TEAs mature through scaleup\, plant design\, operations\, and optimization stages. The 35-minute presentation will be followed by audience Q&A. \n\n\n\nTopics include: \n\n\n\nWhat a TEA is\, why a company should develop one\, and how it fits into the larger-scale commercialization timeline.How to quickly create an effective first model.How a TEA can guide R&D\, product development\, and commercialization processes.Why a TEA is critical to securing funding and for strategic planning.Audience Q&A.\n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\nJohn Ellersick is the President and Founder of Next Rung Technology. He has been at the forefront of scaling up impactful large scale bioprocesses since it became clear that current agricultural and manufacturing practices are not sustainable. The Next Rung team has scaled many of the most impactful biotechnologies in the last decade\, including helping alternative proteins companies achieve key scaleup milestones. John is a chemical engineer\, P.E. and PMP. Prior to founding Next Rung Technology he served on the executive and technology leadership teams at Oasys Water\, Myriant\, and Mascoma. \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?

SUMMARY:Functionalizing novel plant protein sources
DESCRIPTION:Functionalizing novel plant protein sourcesPast\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJoin Dr. Pam Ismail\, Director of the Plant Protein Innovation Center\, as she discusses her research to enhance the viability of plant proteins through various functionalization approaches. \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\nPam Ismail\, Ph.D.\n\n\n\nProfessor\, University of Minnesota \n\n\n\n\n	\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWebinar description\n\n\n\nThere is a growing interest in novel plant-based proteins to replace ingredients such as milk and soy that have traditionally dominated the market. This interest is fueled by the desire for sustainable protein sources\, lower-cost ingredients\, valorization of by-products\, overcoming functionality limitations of specific proteins\, and utilizing all possible resources to expand the overall ingredients supply. The demonstration of equivalent or superior/new functionality of novel plant proteins compared to existing alternatives is of interest to both the food industry and consumers. Join Dr. Pam Ismail\, Director of the Plant Protein Innovation Center\, as she discusses her research to enhance the viability of plant proteins through various functionalization approaches. \n\n\n\nMeet the speaker\n\n\n\nPam Ismail\, Ph.D.\, is a Professor at the Department of Food Science and Nutrition\, University of Minnesota. She is the Founder and Director of the Plant Protein Innovation Center. Dr. Ismail has over 25 years of experience in food chemistry research focused on analytical chemistry\, protein chemistry\, and chemistry and fate of bioactive food constituents. Her research focuses on the structural characterization and enhancement of functionality\, safety\, bioavailability\, and bioactivity of food proteins following novel processing and analytical approaches. She is the recipient of a “Distinguished Teaching Award” and an “Outstanding Professor Award.” \n\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?
