Biotech Sectors

The application of biotechnologies to traditional industrial sectors, such as chemicals & plastics or textiles & leather and many others are being increasingly translated in constant product and process innovations both in start-ups as well as established businesses. New trends and economic drivers emerge, such as increasing cost of fossil fuels. Traditional industrial companies must evolve with these trends, and this is driving the creation of competitive and dynamic industrial biotech companies that link R&D with applications relevant to the end user.   The Industrial Biotech Forum partners the whole spectrum of industry players in the Industrial Biotech spectrum, with technology offers and needs presented in the following sub-sectors:
