📢 EXCITING 🆕 FOR THE BIOTECHNOLOGY SECTOR IN #SPAIN! 📆 The regional Goverment of Galicia, Xunta de Galicia (Spain), approved 📝 this week the creation of the first knowledge transfer office specialising in the #biotechnology sector in the region, with the aim of facilitating the conversion into #business 🏬 of the different research carried out in this field, and thus promoting #Galicia as a #bioregion of #reference. 👉 This announcement took place during the presentation of the mid-term review of the Strategy for the Consolidation of Biotechnology in Galicia 2021-2025, and is one of the measures that have been taken to position the #biotechnology sector as an #international 🗺 #benchmark and activate its promotion in the region, by increasing the economic activity of this sector in terms of #employment, #turnover and #entrepreneurship in the field of R&i. 📌 The GAIN (Galician Innovation Agency) is the Xunta de Galicia's entity that mobilised the most #funds 💶 in these first 3️⃣ years, with the biosanitary subsector being the most benefited, followed by marine 🌀 resources and environmental 🌱 solutions. ANFACO-CECOPESCA, partner of Biotech4Food project and one of the most prominent Galician R&I agents, is a key entity in the development 📈 of biotechnology in the region. We will expand on this information in the next post of the blog. 📍 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.

🧠🌱 Regional brainstorm: biotechnology in the French South-East agri-food industry A few days ago, Innov'Alliance - Le pôle de compétitivité de la Naturalité Agroalimentaire Nutraceutique Cosmétique Arômes Parfums organised a roundtable session to discuss the challenges, barriers, and potential solutions in the application of biotechnology in the agri-food industry of the Région Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Région Sud - Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur 🚧 Participants found that significant #barriers in their use were current legislation, consumer perception, and the lack of adequate infrastructure at regional level. 🤔 How do we address these barriers? Concrete ideas emerging from the discussion included: -     To maximize collaboration and work in #collective effort; -     To map the regional #ecosystem of agri-food #biotechnology actors; -     To build a regional #strategy around agri-food biotechnology; -     To set up pilot plants in our territories, reflecting on the model of #public-#private partnerships. 📢 Efforts are underway by Innov'Alliance - Le pôle de compétitivité de la Naturalité Agroalimentaire Nutraceutique Cosmétique Arômes Parfums to continue building on these ideas, both with the actors of the agri-food industry, as well as with the relevant regional political actors.
