Fields of Activity
-
Bioplastics and plastics recycling
Biopolymers offer enormous potential in terms of environmentally friendly and, in some cases, completely new functional properties. Their potential applications include films, packaging, medical technology and adhesives.
-
Recycling of Residual Materials and CO2
The value-added use of by-product and residual material streams, which include carbon dioxide, should lead to novel commodities and energy sources.
-
Food and Nutrition
The topic of food and nutrition is becoming increasingly important. Industrial biotechnology can be used to develop a wide range of innovative food and animal feed products and their additives. The focus here should be on alternative protein sources, animal-free proteins, nutraceuticals and innovative foods that utilise waste streams wherever possible.
-
Proteins and peptides for industry
Novel, protein-based materials with innovative properties, such as stability or hydrophobicity, are highly demanded, so that corresponding developments are of immense market importance.
-
Digitization, modeling and artificial intelligence
In the coming years, digitization will usher the next major revolution in the development of biotechnological processes and products.
-
Sustainable energy sources
Advanced biofuels represent a new generation of energy sources. They are developed through innovative and environmentally friendly technologies and are produced without using potential food or feed.
-
Political Dialogue
Sustainable decisions and sensible solutions require the discourse among politics, business, science and society. We support these expert discussions with commitment, heart and facts.
