At the beginning of this year, the James Hutton Institute appointed a new entrepreneur in residence – a man with more than 30 years of global business experience, George Lindsay.
In this new role, he will be working with the scientists at the institute to commercialise their discoveries, taking them from concept to commerce.
Over a long and varied career, Lindsay has gradually honed in on agricultural technology as one of his areas of interest, which made the position particularly relevant. Among other things, he's currently working on projects helping to certify carbon credits for businesses and developing applications for gene sequencing.
