Delivering the EU Green Deal: Industrial biotechnology into business

Feeding The Future

How biotechnology can enable more sustainable food systems

DSM regards biotechnology as a key enabler to develop more sustainable products, processes and solutions for the agriculture & food sector that are safe, healthy and scalable. We speak with DSM Chief Technology Officer, Marcus Remmers, about the developments in the field of alternative proteins, the need for more collaboration and open innovation, and DSM’s biotechnology activities in Austria, this year’s EFIB host country.

Dialogue on Circularity & Sustainability

EFIB stakeholder perspectives

A year and a half after the EU Green Deal publication by the European Commission, EFIB 2021 will take stock of achievements made. Under the main theme “Delivering the Green Deal: Industrial biotechnology into business”, the EFIB 2021 programme features 10+ focused plenary and parallel tracks as well as roundtable sessions, attracting about 70+ speakers across the two main conference days to shed light on business strategies, technology challenges and policy frameworks.

How can Europe reach its goal to be among the global leaders of sustainable innovation?

Covid safe

In Austria, the ‘3G rule’ applies to all events. This means participants must be tested, vaccinated or recovered from COVID to attend (as many have experienced moving around Europe this summer). Importantly, the venue is also a Covid testing site, so if you require a test to return to your own country, this can be easily done onsite. EuropaBio is finalising a full Covid Hygiene concept, as required by Austrian law, to be implemented for a safe event.
