Venture Spotlight February 2009 - Investments in BioPlastics & Green Technologies Series Sponsor: 
As the global market continues to shift towards more sustainable energy and material sources, bioplastics, or biopolymers, continue to become a viable alternative to traditional petroleum-based polymers. According to BASF, global plastic consumption is estimated to reach 500 billion pounds by 2010, and with current green market trends bioplastics have the potential to be an alternative to this behemoth industry. In fact, in 2006, global bioplastic consumption was four times greater than in 2004, which suggests that there is no where to go but up for the bioplastic industry. The BayBio Institute, in partnership with the NYSE, presents the BayBioNEST Venture Spotlight Series. This unique forum allows investors to speak directly to entrepreneurs in a reverse pitch format. Investors have the pulpit to discuss their current interests, target markets, therapies and technologies, as well as the maturation level of typical companies of interest.
For more information contact: Jessica Knowles at 650-871-7101 x214 or jknowles@baybio.org. The Venture Spotlights are held the second Thursday every month with each meeting focusing on up to three Northern California venture funds. Q&A, as well as the networking time will be provided following investor presentations. With Additional Support From:
