Biotech4Food’s Post

ℹ New brainstorm session! 👉 As part of the Biotech4Food project, ANFACO-CECOPESCA has been working on an analysis of the state-of-the-art of the use of #biotechnology 🔬  in the #Galician #agrifood industry. Several interviews were conducted with actors of the agrifood industry, #biotech solution providers, and #researchers, supplemented by #surveys 📝 and desk research, with the goal of identifying regional #strengths and #opportunities 🎯 , as well as hurdles and barriers to overcome. 📌 Following this analysis, ANFACO-CECOPESCA is hosting a complementary #brainstorm 💭 session on June 28th from 10 am to 12 pm, grouping the aforementioned stakeholders and regional authorities, to validate the results of this state-of-the-art analysis and further discuss the main challenges of implementing #biotechnology in the food industry, the measurements that can be taken at regional level to improve #cooperation 🤝 between research and industry and strengthen the use of biotech in the food industry with the support of regional authorities, and to identify #thematics for which interregional cooperation can be advantageous.

🧠 In the last few months, #brainstorm sessions were organised by each Biotech4Food partner to gain further insights into the main #barriers faced by actors in the agri-food #biotechnology 🔬 industry, and the potential solutions to address industrial #challenges and barriers – including building pilot plants within the territories. 🤝 Major industrial actors Danone and Michelin recently announced, in partnership with the American company DMC Biotechnologies, Inc., and Crédit Agricole Centre France, the creation of the Biotech Open Platform, located in one of the Biotech4Food project regions. 👉 With an initial #investment of 16 million euros, this platform aiming to develop advanced precision #fermentation processes will be located in Clermont-Ferrand, in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. It is supported by both private and public actors, including the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Clermont Auvergne Métropole, the French company Greentech and the Université Clermont Auvergne. ℹ The project’s initial focus will be on the #acceleration of precision fermentation development through scaling-up 📈 of products and processes; an initial demo-scale production line is to come in #2025. 📍 Powered by Ingredients for a Circular Economy European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) | Wagralim, the Agri-Food Innovation Cluster of Wallonia | Valorial, le réseau innovation agri-agro | Flanders' FOOD | Agrifood Clust-ER | Innov'Alliance - Le pôle de compétitivité de la Naturalité Agroalimentaire Nutraceutique Cosmétique Arômes Parfums | CNTA | NAGRIFOOD - CLUSTER AGROALIMENTARIO DE NAVARRA | ANFACO-CECOPESCA | #AgrotechnologyExportCluster | ATECluster Thessaloniki Greece | Vésale Pharma | BRETAGNE CHIMIE FINE | Region of Central Macedonia | MARIA GOULAPTSI | FENGA FOOD INNOVATION SAS | ARTECHNO sa | THT | Ingredalia S.L. | Atelier du Fruit | Bugslab | Avecom | Calidris Bio | Ε.Β.Υ.Π.

🤔What is Biotech4Food Project for? 👇🏻 One of the reasons for this project was the need to have a general overview of the biotechnology situation in Europe 🌍 and, in particular, in each region. 📌In order to get this picture, a whole work package was designed: The Strategic Implementation & Roadmapping of the project. The information we aim to obtain from this phase of the project is: ▶ Opportunities, challenges and needs of the agri-food sector. ▶ Identification of regional biotechnological strengths and expertise by identifying relevant research and technology organisations (RTOs), companies, etc. capable of addressing the challenges of the agri-food industry. ▶ Identify existing barriers and obstacles to the rapid adoption of biotechnology in the agri-food sector. ▶ An overview of the availability and equipment of living laboratories, pilot facilities and technology platforms. ▶ Regional strategies for biotechnology development, relevant projects and available regional funding. With all this information, the Biotech4Food partners will be able to write 📝 a recommendation for regional and European authorities, providing them with relevant and strategic information on the value chains of biotechnologies. 📍 Powered by Ingredients for a Circular Economy European Innovation Council and SMEs Executive Agency (EISMEA) | Wagralim, the Agri-Food Innovation Cluster of Wallonia | Valorial, le réseau innovation agri-agro | Flanders' FOOD | Agrifood Clust-ER | Innov'Alliance - Pôle de compétitivité de la Naturalité et des filières du végétal | CNTA | NAGRIFOOD - CLUSTER AGROALIMENTARIO DE NAVARRA | ANFACO-CECOPESCA | #AgrotechnologyExportCluster | ATECluster Thessaloniki Greece | Vésale Pharma | BRETAGNE CHIMIE FINE | Region of Central Macedonia | MARIA GOULAPTSI | FENGA FOOD INNOVATION SAS | ARTECHNO sa | THT | Ingredalia S.L. | Atelier du Fruit | Bugslab | Avecom | Calidris Bio | Ε.Β.Υ.Π.

📍On June 5th, CNTA and NAGRIFOOD - CLUSTER AGROALIMENTARIO DE NAVARRA organized a #brainstorm 💭 session involving different stakeholders within the #biotech 🔬 community in #Navarre. During this session, we had a chance to explore a bit more in depth the conclusions previously gathered through online surveys and one-to-one interviews with relevant actors. Through the opinions and insights of our incredible panel of stakeholders, we had the chance to adjust some of the perceptions which were not fully developed in the interviews and to find common ground on which are the main #barriers and #challenges to be addressed in Navarre, mostly related to the biotech workforce and other aspects of our region.   👉 BEATRIZ DE DIEGO DÍAZ, PhD, Ángela San Román Lecumberri and Natanael Viñegra de la Torre conducted this session, in which the general scope of the project was introduced to several partners in the region. The #results of this brainstorm regions will be used, in combination with other sister regions in #Europe, to draw an accurate and precise map 🗺 of the needs of the biotech industry as well as what steps 👣 can be taken to address them.   We are thankful to all participants of the session, among which was also our recently incorporated Biotech4Food partner Ingredalia S.L..   We keep working 💪 to make biotech available and attractive to all actors of the #agrifood industry!

#Biotechnology dating back to ancient times with practices like fermentation, the use of enzymes and yeast, has always played a crucial role in our #food system. The Biotech4Food project granted under the #I3instrument has the ambition to re-enforce the use of biotech in the agri-food system in creating a more resilient and circular #Europe. To facilitate this endeavor and support companies in adopting biotech solutions, the team has prepared a survey in different languages to gather valuable insights. Your input is crucial !
