For more than 130 years, The University of Texas System has been committed to improving the lives of Texans and people all over the world through education, research and health care. The University of Texas System is one of the nation’s largest systems of higher education, with 14 institutions that educate nearly 240,000 students. Each year, UT institutions award more than one-third of all undergraduate degrees in Texas and more than half of all health professional degrees. With about 21,000 faculty – including Nobel laureates – and more than 85,000 health care professionals, researchers and support staff, the UT System is one of the largest employers in the state. Life-changing research and invention of new technologies at UT institutions regularly places the UT System among the top 10 “World’s Most Innovative Universities,” according to Reuters. The UT System ranks third in the world in patents granted, and because of the high caliber of scientific research conducted at UT institutions, the UT System is ranked No. 1 in Texas and No. 2 in the nation in federal research expenditures. In addition, the UT System is home to three of the nation’s National Cancer Institute Cancer Centers – UT MD Anderson, UT Southwestern and UT Health Science Center-San Antonio – which must meet rigorous criteria for world-class programs in cancer research. And the UT System is the only System in the country to have four Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSA) from the National Institutes of Health. Transformational initiatives implemented over the past several years have cemented UT as a national leader in higher education, including the expansion of educational opportunities in South Texas with the opening of The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley in 2015. And UT was the only system of higher education in the nation that established not one, but two new medical schools in 2016 at The University of Texas at Austin and UT Rio Grande Valley. University of Texas institutions are setting the standard for excellence in higher education and will continue to do so thanks to generous donors and the leadership of the Chancellor, Board of Regents and UT presidents.

Almost four million Texans have started college and not earned their degree. There’s not enough capacity in Texas’s higher education system to meet 60x30 by adding new students - we need a proven solution to help working adults finish their credential. The average college student has changed; over 74% of today’s students are post-traditional, meaning they’re older than 24, working 30+ hours, or supporting a family - and the higher education system was never designed to help them reach graduation So, PelotonU designed a solution with 5x results. Honed over eight years in Central Texas, our model combines two key elements: a flexible degree pathway called competency-based education (CBE) and a support program with individualized coaching. Parents, immigrants, 18-year-olds, and shift-workers have proven our model’s efficacy. Backed by their successes, we will scale our innovative virtual coaching program by 2025 to 8,000+ students across Texas earning at least 1,000 degrees.

World demand for plastics and rubber is nearly insatiable, declining just 2.5% CAGR due to COVID-19 but expected to grow by 8% CAGR to over $1.6 trillion by 2023 (citation). Of the 300 million tons produced each year, less than 8% is recycled, creating massive harm to the planet’s ecosystem and peoples. Applied Bioplastics is commercializing plant-based polymers that are far healthier and more sustainable at competitive pricing to their petrochemical-based analogues, aiming to capture 1% of this market within three years. We are delivering two products today: Biothermoplastics - a feedstock used by regional and global plastics manufacturers who want lower carbon impact while maintaining the same cost and performance characteristics as traditional petrochemical feedstock. We are uniquely positioned to serve the commodity plastics market with this material. BttR Board - a building material analogous to fiberglass using biomass and resin. This material is targeted for refugee and disaster assistance temporary housing (first in Bangladesh and India, then expanding to other regions as supply chains and input materials permit), and as decorative materials for custom homes and offices. Applied Bioplastics is a manufacturing company delivering our biothermoplastics and BttR Board, a research institute advancing the science of biopolymers, and a humanitarian organization working with local and global organizations to provide jobs and housing to impoverished areas.
