EuropaBio launch event: The economic power of biotechnology for Europe

European Biotech Week kicks off with the EuropaBio webinar The Economic Power of Biotechnology for Europe on September 25th, from 12:00 to 13:15.

Register now and join us and Professor Dennis Ostwald, founder and CEO of the WifOR Institute, who will present the 2023 edition of EuropaBio’s Measuring the economic footprint of the biotechnology industry in Europe.

Dr Claire Skentelbery, Director General of EuropaBio commented “Biotechnology is often an unsung hero in in our lives and European Biotech Week explains how it helps to support our health, our food supply and our critical transition to a sustainable society.”

About European Biotech Week

Launched in 2013, this annual event brings together scientists, companies, academics, students, policy makers, and other biotech stakeholders both physically and online. The European Biotech Week serves as a platform to celebrate the remarkable advances in biotechnology, address relevant challenges for society and industry, and promote synergies for better collaboration.

It owes its continued success to the active participation of many organizations, companies, and individuals across Europe. Schools, universities, museums, companies, institutions, associations, and organizations are invited to host events during the Week, providing a unique opportunity to showcase their work, expertise and contributions to the field of biotechnology.

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.
