European Technology Platform
on Sustainable Chemistry

White Biotechnology in SusChem Technology Platform

The chemical and biotechnology sector organisations CEFIC and EuropaBio, with the support of the European Commission, launched a European Technology Platform on Sustainable Chemistry (SUSCHEM) for establishing a long-standing public-private partnership to increase investment on research and innovation and to boost European competitiveness in the different sectors. The SUSCHEM Technology Platform www.suschem.org includes three key technology areas for Europe:

industrial/white biotechnology
materials technology
reaction and process design

The Vision for the SusChem European Technology Platform is outlined in the Vision for 2025 and beyond which was formally endorsed.

Industrial or White Biotechnology in SusChem

EuropaBio and ESAB (European Federation of Biotechnology Section on Applied Biocatalysis) are coordinating the industrial/white biotechnology pillar of the SusChem Technology Platform. An important number of stakeholders have been involved to develop documents setting the targets for the next 20 years in Industrial/White Biotechnology, as well as the research priorities.

"Industrial or White Biotechnology - A driver of sustainable growth in Europe"

"Industrial or White Biotechnology - Research for Europe".

"Industrial or White Biotechnology - A Policy Agenda for Europe"
