New transformation wave
According to ECBF experts, after digitalisation, the biorevolution will be the next global transformation wave. It means a change from a linear, fossil fuel-based economy to a sustainable circular bio-economy.
“Many European companies have enormous potential to ride the wave of the Bio Revolution,” says Michael Brandkamp, co-founder and Managing Partner of ECBF. “We will do our utmost to support them. This is the only way we can significantly support a sustainable economy -and thus a secure future for all.”
