BIO-TIC Project Aims to Make Industrial Biotechnology Bloom in Europe
June 25, 2014| |
Industrial biotechnology (IB) is a key technology that can drive European competitiveness in the near future and it can help develop a more sustainable and resource-efficient Europe. However, the full use of IB is hampered with obstacles. The BIO-TIC Project aims to study and overcome these obstacles.
The BIO-TIC Project, coordinated by EuropaBio, will hold a series of workshops in late 2014. These workshops will aim to examine what could be done to overcome the hurdles to IB in Europe and to come up with concrete, feasible solutions to exploit the potential of this technology.
The solutions obtained in these workshops will be used in the development of an integrated roadmap for IB in Europe. This roadmap is expected to be completed and submitted to the European Commission by summer 2015.
