Bioeconomy is a major driving force towards more sustainable industrial processes. Advancing EU Green Deal objectives as well as UN Sustainability Goals will lead to further demand of bio-based innovation in different industry sectors. Many stakeholders in science and industry are developing novel technologies in the field of industrial biotechnology to help establish biological resources as alternative to fossil-based processes. In addition, biorefineries are set up to improve resource-efficiency and the usage of by-products.
Speakers during this webinar:
- Agnes Borg, Director Industrial Biotechnology, EuropaBio
- James Gaffey, Co-Director of the Circular Bioeconomy Research Group, Institute of Technology, Tralee (Ireland), speaking about the BIOSWITCH project which aims to bring Europe to the forefront of the bio-based economy by encouraging and supporting brand owners to switch to bio-based approaches.
- Patrick Lorenz, VP Strategic Initiatives BioScience, BRAIN AG, speaking about “Precise fermentation – Feed the World from a fermenter?”
