HealthDay.si Conference 2021: Biotech Meets Digital

Name: HealthDay.si Conference 2021: Biotech Meets Digital
Start: 2021-11-18T09:00:00+01:00
End: 2021-11-18T15:00:00+01:00

18 November 2021 @ 9:00 am – 3:00 pm CET

Biotechnology and digital are getting closer. Due to the high development of both segments, Slovenia has a great global opportunity in this convergent field of medicine. Can good experiences from the digital healthcare ecosystem be linked to biotechnologies? Can we create something in this space that could be globally relevant? Can a new “digital Krka” or a new “digital Lek” be created in this area?

In this year’s HealthDay.si conference we will focus on the digitization of biotechnological solutions related to medicine and health, with emphasis on diagnostics, advanced cell and gene therapies.

Selected speakers, including international experts and CEOs of established companies, will share their expertise and touch upon additional topics starting with financing growth by a seed round, PPPs in health/research and ranging to secondary use of health data, prevention, value-based health system, ATMP therapies, digitalization of genomic data and artificial intelligence.

Event Navigation

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
