To celebrate the start of European Biotech Week 2024, EuropaBio is organising a webinar to discuss the critical intersection of legislation and investment into innovation within the biotech industry. With clear political support for European leadership in biotech, ensuring EU legislation become key enabler of investment for innovation will be essential to the EU’s global competitiveness and strategic open autonomy.

This webinar will bring together representatives from the biotech industry, investor community, and European institutions to explore the essential elements required to foster a thriving biotech and life sciences ecosystem in the EU.

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.

Algal Omega 3

Algal Omage-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.
