European Biotech Forum 2026

11 June @ 9:00 am – 1:30 pm CEST

EuropaBio is a proud sponsor of the European Biotech Forum 2026.

Biotechnology is becoming a decisive capability for Europe’s competitiveness, industrial resilience and strategic autonomy. But Europe enters the next institutional cycle with a fragmented policy landscape, uneven regulatory capacity, and persistent scale-up barriers. The Commission’s Biotech Communication I and Biotech Communication II set out an initial toolbox, but fall short of an end-to-end industrial framework comparable to the US. The gap between ambition and execution remains significant. To what extent do these communications address the core challenges of Europe’s biotech sector? Where are the structural gaps that still block growth and industrial deployment?

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.
