The future bioeconomy depends on development of bio-products. Research in this area ranges from nano-cellulose applications in a host of products to application of fungal pigments in solar cells and batteries and their aesthetic and commercial application for wood products in the areas of art, design and science.
Oregon State University’s College of Forestry and Extension Service teamed up to create the Oregon Wood Innovation Center (OWIC). OWIC’s mission is to improve the competitiveness of Oregon’s wood products industry by fostering innovation in products, processes, and business systems. A key function of the Center is to serve as the primary link between university research and needs and opportunities in the forest industry.
