🎉 Exciting news! 🎉 I'm thrilled to announce that part of my Master’s thesis results have been published in the journal Microbial Cell Factories 🔬. Very interesting data was obtained in the scope of bio-based itaconic acid production. Check out the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eZZjeMGm

Mark your calendar 📅 for this upcoming event! The 19th of November, ILVO and Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant are opening their 🚪 doors featuring demonstrations and testimonials focused on microbial protein production and processing. Explore the journey to microbial protein marvels! * 🔬Newly available research and scale-up equipment will be showcased * 🏭Companies and policy makers will highlight the strength of these investments and explore the great opportunity. * 💪First results of microbial protein production, processing and analyses using this lab and pilot infrastructure will be showcased. After lunch, participants will follow a one-hour tour with demonstrations through each of the pilot plants: Food Pilot and Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant.

Can you plot industrial policy in an office ? No ! That is why this morning the DG GROW #bioeconomy team, reinforced by colleagues from the CBU JU, visited two biotech sites : Cargill/ Plenitude/ Enough cluster in the Netherlands and the @Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in Belgium. We wanted to learn how the biotech business case can scale in the Single Market? And also what holds it back ? And what potential for sustainable innovation and quality jobs ? The Cargill/Enough cluster at Plenitude is a first-of-its-kind, large-scale biorefinery that produces proteins for food and animal feed. This is through a zero-waste fermentation process from low-cost, sustainable raw materials. 3,000 jobs are expected to be created through this biomanufacturing ecosystem in the province of Zeeland by 2032. This plant is one of the flagship initiatives of the @Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU). CBE JU is a partnership between the Commission and the @Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC). BIC funds projects that help advance competitive and circular bio-based industries. During our tour of Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant in Ghent, we learned how this facility is scaling up bio-based processes and products, helping SMEs and companies to cross the “startup valley of death”. What I learnt ? Bioeconomy seperates ( from corn to starch to glucose to gluten to protein…) and even the leftover of the leftover of the leftover is used. The magic of bioeconomy is its capacity to offer solutions across industrial sectors, be it agri-food, chemicals, fertilisers, construction, textiles or packaging…. And more . And this also to a very committed and creative workforce. And yes: Alongside the launchpad of R&D support and the “nursery” of CBE JU projects, the #SingleMarket is there to create the scale for new products. We adopted the Biotech and Biomanufacturing initiative back in March, and now we are looking into permitting with our Single Market Enforcement Task Force ( see a previous post ). Thank you very much to Plenitude, Enough and Bio base pilot plant teams for your insights, your readiness to be challenged by our questions and your hospitality. I learned a lot … including to connect a couple of dots .
