    German Association of Biotechnology Industries: Biotech regulation: Making Europe fit for the future

    07/02/2025

    POLICY DOCUMENT

    Germany, February 2025 - BioTech Brief: Making Europe fit for the future. 

    This BioTech Letter focuses on biotechnology regulation and was published by the German Association of Biotechnology Industries within the German Chemical Industry Association - VCI. 

    "In early September 2024, Mario Draghi, the EU‘s special representative for competitiveness, presented a dramatic analysis. The key message: Europe urgently needs more innovation and investment in future-oriented economic sectors. The continent must overcome its static industrial structure and massively increase its productivity. The EU initiative „Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing“ is a unique opportunity for the EU and its Member States to take urgent and
    immediate action to support and expand biotechnology and biotech manufacturing in the EU."

    Vitamin B2

    The biomanufacturing of Vitamin B2 led to the reduction of 75% of fossil raw materials and 50% operating costs, compared to the chemical process. Vitamin B2 is used in the food, feed or healthcare sectors.

    Insulin

    Insulin is one of the most widely known biopharmaceutical. Biotechnology revolutionised its manufacturing process and led to the development of new types of insulin through r-DNA technology.

    Detergents

    Enzymes and biosurfactancts are alternative ingredients that improve the performance of detergents, while leading to water and energy savings and reductions in CO2 emissions and water toxicity.

    Clothes

    Clothes made from alternative fibres produced by microorganisms can be 8x stronger than steel, 100% recyclable, biodegradable and replace fossil-fuel based or resource-intensive textiles.

    Algal Omega 3

    Algal Omega-3 is an innovative feed product for aquaculture. It reduces the impact on climate change by 30-40% compared to fish oil and saves 60 tons of wild fish for every ton of Algal Omega-3 used.

    Cheese

    Cheese is a vegetarian product thanks to biotechnology. Biotechnology is also essential to produce lactose- or cholesterol-free cheese, as well as alternative proteins.
