EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries

EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries congratulates Ursula von der Leyen on her re-election for a second mandate as President of the European Commission for the period 2024-2029. We welcome President von der Leyen's continued leadership and her commitment to advancing competitiveness, innovation, and resilience, whilst fostering the biotech revolution to modernise our economies within the European Union. Dr Claire Skentelbery, Director General of EuropaBio commented “Biotechnology is rightfully recognised by President von der Leyen as central to Europe’s future. As a critical technology where the EU already has significant scientific and economic strength, we look forward to strong progress and delivery towards the EU ambitions of competitiveness and resilience”. EuropaBio reinforces President von der Leyen’s commitment to presenting an EU Biotech Act in 2025, supporting the Clean Industrial Deal. Read our full statement at: https://lnkd.in/eGcq37wF

European Forum for Industrial Biotechnology and the Bioeconomy (EFIB) joins force with the the BIOKET Bioeconomy Key Enabling Technologies platform & the Association Chimie Du Végétal. We are delighted to co-organize the opening plenary on March 11th dedicated to Policy Makers Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing for Europe: Building a critical EU future. The plenary will address EU ambition, industrial strategy and the framework needed for Europe to play its full role on the world stage and shape a competitive and resilient future for the European and global bioeconomy.

They are essential to our lives, keeping us and our environments clean and healthy. Did you know that biotechnology and microorganisms play a big part in developing these products? Today, in our fifth Biotech Starter Kit factsheet, we explore why the detergent regulation needs to be revised and how biotech innovation drives us towards a more sustainable and green society. (Our starter kits serve as a one-stop shop, quickly explaining why biotechnology is critical for Europe in the context of the latest policy proposals.) ➡️Download our fifth factsheet here https://lnkd.in/e4F5pKHk If you want to know more, follow us for the next topics and contact our team.

Before embarking on its adventures, Max, our favourite microorganism, stops by a factory, where scientists provide it with new abilities. #Industrialbiotechnology (IB) and genetic modifications allow Max to unlock its microbial powers fully. 🧬 But what is exactly IB? And how can it transform Max into a builder? IB uses living cells, like #microorganisms and enzymes, to create sustainable materials, reducing our dependence on fossil fuels and addressing big challenges like climate change and resource exploitation. IB makes industrial processes more efficient and sustainable, from pharmaceuticals and food to textiles and energy. 🦠 The latest scientific advancements allow Max to build sustainable and innovative products across different sectors, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and feed, detergents, textiles, energy and materials, pulp, and paper. ⚡ Stay tuned to learn more about the adventures of Max!
