IPG's proximity to UF makes it easy to attract some of the best talent among
its graduate student population.

The BDI is an excellent location for the core
business because of 1) the high concentration of businesses which focus
exclusively on biotechnology, 2) close proximity to University research
talent and 3) abundant field plot areas suitable for the Company. Our
location at the UF incubator in Alachua as a
BDI Licensee gives us access to
the same Interdisciplinary
Center for Biotechnology Research (ICBR) core laboratory services that
UF faculty and staff have.
The abundance of land, moderate environment, and proximity
to agriculture-related industries make Florida a perfect location for IPG to grow
and expand. The State also has excellent port facilities, making it ideal for any
agricultural products business that intends to sell internationally. Florida is
also ideal for any products business that needs to rely on partnerships with nurseries
and seed producers for propagating the final, improved products.
IPG is proud to announce its collaboration and partnership with Reed Brothers Citrus Nurseries (Dundee, Florida)
in an effort to develop and market citrus trees resistant to citrus canker disease.
