Developing new value for corn –
and corn growers

Iowa Corn Opportunities (ICO) seeks to provide a a unique focal point for new business development related to the corn industry.

With corn production expanding rapidly – and increasing opportunities to develop new products from corn – there are a myriad of new business opportunities that can be developed to respond to the changing dynamics of the corn industry.

ICO is focused on investment opportunities that will add value to the corn industry in Iowa and beyond. ICO networks with:

• Other established equity funds and sources of capital to jointly evaluate and invest in new value-added agricultural business opportunities
• Companies and sources of capital outside Iowa to encourage more investment in the corn industry and in Iowa specifically

ICO efforts are designed to complement and coordinate with existing efforts and programs in Iowa, including the Iowa Department of Economic Development, the Iowa Power Fund and other new business initiatives in the state.
