What is the difference between the Ag Research Fund and the Agrivalue™ Fund’s Research investments?
The Ag Research Fund is focused on building research capacity with a ‘line of sight’ for commercialization opportunities, while the Agrivalue™ Fund is primarily focused on commercialization.

If I partner with a research performer in accessing the Ag Research Fund, who owns the intellectual property?
The AVAC intellectual property policy states that for research and strategic investments, the research performer will normally own the intellectual property, unless otherwise negotiated in writing. As a guiding principle, AVAC shall expect that intellectual property benefits shall be commensurate with the contribution of each party in its creation, and in accordance with the respective policies of the institutions involved.
