1 Integrated Science Merging scientific disciplines to address global challenges Douglas Muzyka, PhD Senior Vice President and Chief Science & Technology Officer DuPont

2 Key messages We are facing unprecedented global challenges in food, energy and protection. The chemical industry plays an important role in providing solutions. Ongoing success will require continued integration of science, diversification of ideas, and collaboration. Copyright 2013 DuPont. All rights reserved 2

3 Population growth will bring challenges By 2050, the global population will grow by 2 billion people: 9 billion people by billion 9 billion Demand for food is projected to grow by 70% Demand for energy is projected to rise by 40% We must meet these demands while sustainably protecting people and the environment Copyright 2013 DuPont.
