Early ballots are in, Praj, LanzaTech leading in “Best Places to Work in the Bioeconomy” voting

In Florida, The Digest has released the results in the “Best Places to Work in the Bioeconomy 2020” voting through March 2nd, as we reach the last 2 weeks of voting.

“It’s still quite early and there will be many changes in the ballots as staff and fans of companies get their ballots filled out in the next two weeks,” said Digest editor and publisher Jim Lane. “But it’s already clear that the private sector is, as a whole, faring better than the public sector — with some notable examples. Also, we’ve noticed that some renowned Silicon Valley start-ups aren’t getting the votes you’d think they would. And, companies outside of the US are generally doing better than US companies. That could be just the result of early-voting, or food for thought. We’ll see as the next phase of balloting takes place.”

Complete rules and background on the votes and voting process can be found here. The final results will be announced at 630pm ET on March 26th, 2020 at ABLC 2020, the Advanced Bioeconomy Leadership Conference, in Washington DC.
