About BiobasedNews.com

BiobasedNews.com began in the internet world as The Biobased Information System^TM (BIS). The BIS was started in 1999 by a group of individuals organized as AgroTech Communications, Inc. who were convinced that the bioeconomy would undergo a revolution and that information access would be key. Since that time the BIS has supplied information in a variety of web-based methods to thousands of individuals around the world. Clients have included: European Commission, Bioproducts Canada, National Biodiesel Board, and the USDA, among others.

The BIS served as a key component of projects including the Tennessee Biomass Information Network, education initiatives at Tennessee State University, and the Sun Grant Initiative. The BIS received funding from U.S. Department of Energy and USDA for these projects.

In 2006, the BIS received additional investment and new partners from BioDimensions and FBA Consulting which resulted in a new name, BiobasedNews.com. This infusion of new capital, identity and expertise has allowed for a more robust system, more information, and a host of new services and expanded content.
