Building the Bioeconomy: Mark Masotti and alterBiota’s Concrete Innovation
Description
This special Insights podcast is the last of a three-part series of interviews with exciting entrepreneurs building bioeconomy companies in Atlantic Canada. You will find the first two interviews with Vyterra Renewables Inc. and Oberland Agriscience in the Insights podcast feed. This series is sponsored by Greenspring Bioinnovation Hub and Bioindustrial Innovation Canada. This week we talk with Mark Masotti and his exciting new company, alterBiota. Mark ‘fell in love’ with anaerobic digestion and has a new technology that uses wood byproducts to create a product that strengthens concrete and at the same time reduces its carbon footprint. The Verschuren Centre in Cape Breton lured Masotti from Toronto and he raves about the support he received after arriving. He believes Nova Scotia is an excellent place to build a successful bioeconomy company and he tells us all the reasons why in this podcast.
