What I love most about what I do: being at the intersection of science and marketability. So many brainiacs are dedicating their skills to solving our problems. The inventions that are being brought to the table (literally) are blowing my mind. But: inventions are not innovations. Ideas are not solutions. Inventions need to be paired with market know-how to create use cases and actual solutions. Then we have an innovation. In order to turn an innovation into a success, what's needed is dash of narrative to make the innovation palatable for consumers. Ag & food are the industry in which the struggle from invention to successful innovation is real. Seafood, neither fished nor farmed, but brewed from cells. Vegetables grown on 6 meter high panels indoors. Food made from carbon in the air. 🤯 While they might sound over-the-top, those are (some) the innovations we need to transition and future-proof our food system. I am delighted that I have the chance to share my view on the pathway from invention to innovation at the TransBIB Learning Lounge. TransBIB is Germany's network of scientific institutions, dedicated to accelerating the industrial bioeconomy. After an introduction by yours truly, Gunnar Mühlstädt (PUEVIT GmbH) and Dr. Cornelius Lahme (BLUU Seafood) will present how they have taken inventions to innovation with their start-ups.

Today marks the official presentation of BASID, Barcelona’s first privately driven health innovation district! This initiative addresses the urgent need for R&D infrastructure in Catalonia's thriving BioRegion. During the event, our Managing Partner, Josep Ll. Sanfeliu, joined the panel on "R&D Infrastructure Needs in Catalonia" hosted by DeepLabs, together with @Miquel Pons (Barcelona Children's Hospital Sant Joan de Déu), Lluís Armengol (QGENOMICS), Silvia Labé (Biocat, BioRegion of Catalonia) and Anna Serra Muns moderating the panel. They highlighted the region's strong life sciences ecosystem while emphasizing the critical need for spaces that connect startups with hospitals and universities. BASID is set to bridge this gap, fostering growth for local companies and attracting international players to Catalonia. Congratulations to all involved in bringing this transformative project to life! #Innovation #LifeSciences #Catalonia #Infrastructure

Our EU innovation engine is never out-of-office! ⛱ 🔬  #HorizonEurope In the past summer months, 6 collaborative European research projects in which KU Leuven is coordinator were selected to enter grant preparation for funding by the European Commission. These consortium projects help advance society, economy and the environment in various domains: 👩🏫 Good and accessible education: ‘BRIDGE’ (Kristof De Witte) 🤝 Tackling social exclusion through the social economy: ‘DICES’ (Huib Huyse) ⚗ Renewable and safe aromatic compounds: ‘RADAR’ (Bert Sels) 🥗 Enhancing healthy and sustainable food provision: ‘DietWise’ (siegfried dewitte) 👨💻 Facilitating SMEs in developing AI and data solutions: ‘AID4SME’ (Bert Pluymers) 🏃♀️ A health-promoting environment for all EU citizens: ‘EXPOSIM’ (Peter Hoet) All of these projects can count on the support of the #KULeuvenEUteam (LRD/DOC/GHUM). Together, we look forward to assisting the researchers involved in the realization of their work! #innovation #researchvalorization

🎉 Happy New Year! 🎉    In 2025, we’re stepping into the next phase of turning global bioeconomy strategies into actionable plans tailored to regions’ needs and their specific contexts!     With our regionalization concept, we’ve laid the groundwork for bioeconomy model regions across Europe. This year, we gearing up to launch the BIO2REG network, which will foster collaboration through exchanges of best practices and lessons learned, enabling regions to work together to build a sustainable, circular, and inclusive bioeconomy!  We will be building momentum with:     🌟 Regional network events 🇪🇸🇬🇷🇨🇿🇸🇪🇩🇪 to introduce the bioeconomy model region framework, help stakeholders identify the status of their bioeconomy model region, and explore effective region-specific fields of action.  🧭 Stakeholder guides to provide best practices for bioeconomy model regions with plenty of practice examples and lessons learned accessible for our network members.  📊 Multi-Criteria Assessment tool to enable regional stakeholders to identify and evaluate the bioeconomy potential and profile of regions.    2025 is all about action, collaboration, and impact!    👉 Read the regionalization concept: https://lnkd.in/eAHBzu4f 👉 Get all BIO2REG updates straight to your inbox by subscribing to our newsletter: https://lnkd.in/e-utTPnA   #HappyNewYear #Bioeconomy #CircularEconomy #RegionalDevelopment #Innovation #BioeconomyModelRegion BioökonomieREVIER Forschungszentrum Jülich BIOCOM Interrelations GmbH Kveloce Matís Iceland Institute of Urban Environment and Human Resources | Panteion University Homo Silvestris Europae Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) BIOEAST HUB Czech Republic RISE Research Institutes of Sweden European Research Executive Agency (REA) Rural Bioeconomy Alliance (RBA) BEAMING PROJECT SYMBA EU Project ROBIN project HOOP Project BBioNets ShapingBio C4B PRIMED Project RuralBioUp
