Alliance for Biosolutions’ Post

Following on from EuropaBio's position paper and more than ever in line with the today’s EU communication on biotechnology and biomanufacturing, inspiring showcases and insights were presented for defragmenting and accelerating biomanufacturing so as not to miss out on the worldwide elan. Here are some key insights:   〰️ Cross-Sector Collaboration : Highlighted the necessity of collaboration across various sectors and disciplines for addressing biomanufacturing solutions. 〰️ Defragment manufacturing and embrace change : Discussed efforts to streamline biomanufacturing processes, adapt to technological advancements, and foster industry resilience. 〰️ No magic wand, but magic earth as a sandbox: Despite challenges, expressed optimism about biomanufacturing's potential to drive positive change through experimentation and innovation.   Thank you very much for the invitation and acknowledged Genopole's efforts in advancing biomanufacturing technologies and biotechnologies in Europe, particularly through European funded projects like COBIOE - Growing Connection for BIO Ecosystems and the forthcoming APROVALS "Accelerating PROteins innoVAtors beyond reguLatory Sandboxes".  

🌱Biosolutions hold tremendous potential according to the European Commission – Now is the time to unleash that potential🌱   🔬Today, the European Commission with its “Communication on Biotech and Biomanufacturing” has presented a series of actions to boost biotech and biomanufacturing in the EU, thus fulfilling the promise made by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her State of the European Union speech in September 2023.   📄Among the Commission’s set of actions are: - Simplified regulatory framework and faster access to market, including launching a study that could lay the foundations for a possible EU Biotech Act. - Better support for scale-up and ease of navigating regulations. - Foster a larger market for biotechnology and biomanufacturing. - Enable fair comparison with fossil-based products. - Encourage more investments.   We welcome these actions and are very pleased with the prospects of an EU Bio Act. This shows how quickly biosolutions are moving up on the EU’s agenda. That is fantastic and something we are proud to contribute to!🙌   🇪🇺As Executive Vice-President of the Commission Mrs Margrethe Vestager said at the press conference “Europe cannot just be the cradle for new solutions, what is born here should also grow up and stay here”. We could not have coined it better👏   💪But we need to deliver quickly and ambitiously on these actions. Only then can we succeed with the industrial bio-revolution and enhance Europe's sustainability, resilience, and competitiveness🌏 And the European Biosolutions Coalition is more than ready to help accelerating the bio-revolution in Europe!🌱 #eubiocoalition #biosolutions #eu #biotech #biomanufacturing #sustainability #greentransition #resilience #competitiveness

🎄 Today has been a bit like Christmas eve for EU biosolutions aficionados like me. 🔬Because today, the European Commission presented its “Communication on Biotech and Biomanufacturing” and with that a series of actions to boost biosolutions, biotech and biomanufacturing in the EU, thus fulfilling the promise made by Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in her State of the European Union speech in September 2023. Biosolutions hold tremendous potential according to the European Commission – Now is the time to unleash that potential🌱   📄 Among the Commission’s set of actions are: - Simplified regulatory framework and faster access to market, including launching a study that could lay the foundations for a possible EU Biotech Act. - Better support for scale-up and ease of navigating regulations. - Foster a larger market for biotechnology and biomanufacturing. - Enable fair comparison with fossil-based products. - Encourage more investments.   We welcome these actions and are very pleased with the prospects of an EU Bio Act.

Innovative biotech and biomanufacturing are very important for Europe’s green transition. With its innovative power and by creating new industrial ecosystems, the bio-based industries sector is a strategic pillar for biomanufacturing in Europe today. We hope that the new EU Parliament and EU Commission will be bold on turning the EU Communication, "Building the future with nature: Boosting Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing in the EU" into reality! Read our reaction to an 🇪🇺 Bio-Initiative 👇 https://zurl.co/cB5e

European industries call for a bold and impactful Biotechnology and Biomanufacturing Initiative🌱🚀   🤝Alongside with 17 stakeholders across Europe are supporting these five core principles for the forthcoming EU Biotech and Biomanufacturing initiative. For the Alliance for Biosolutions the need of a significant paradigm shift towards regulation and legislative framework conditions that prioritize bio-innovation and sustainable solutions based on biotechnology, acknowledging these as fundamental drivers of the green transition is KEY.🔑 Biosolututions such as sustainable sources of protein, bioplastics, biocement and bioasphalt plays a key role in delivering on international climate goals   Therefore, the principles should be embedded into consideration of EU legislations, ensuring convergence, rather than divergence, for innovation across frameworks.   🙏 Thank you to EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries for initiating this coalition   Learn more about the 5 principles here: https://lnkd.in/eFKUjKRt   And re-read our 10 principles for biosolutions sent to the Commission earlier: https://lnkd.in/d4jYxJVi

Bolstering the U.S. bioeconomy: a Q&A with @RepAuchincloss. Jake Auchincloss is a co-sponsor of the #BiosecureAct, but he’s looking past decoupling the U.S. and Chinese biotech industries and is focusing on policies to enhance the competitiveness of the U.S. bioeconomy. In conversation with @SteveUsdin1

🇪🇺 WHAT IS BORN IN EUROPE SHOULD ALSO GROW UP AND STAY IN EUROPE 🇪🇺 The regulatory status quo in Europe prevents the vast potential of the biosolutions sector from being unlocked. Lack of awareness, insufficient access to financing and scaling and a regulatory environment not quite fit for purpose prevents the biotech and biomanufacturing sector from helping us shape a more sustainable, resilient and competitive future for a green Europe. Crucially, the Commission and Executive Vice President Mrs. Magrethe Vestager presented a communication on boosting biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the EU on the 20th of March. In the wake of this landmark communication, it’s clear that the path forward requires action. Europe has a longstanding tradition of providing a good environment for innovations to blossom. The Commission’s recent communication is a testament to this legacy and a step forward in recognizing the critical role biosolutions play for our future. 🌍 Yet we must continue to act. In just two months, the European Parliament will hold elections, where biosolutions must be on the agenda. We have our work cut out for us, as it is not just about keeping these solutions within our borders, but also nurturing an ecosystem where they can grow, scale and ultimately benefit our communities and the planet. 🙌 However, while we celebrate this milestone, it’s imperative that we push for a dedicated European Bio Act. We must build on this momentum and advocate for policies that support innovation, ensure regulatory clarity and foster an environment where biosolutions can thrive. 🌱🌾 Because what is born in Europe should also grow up and stay in Europe. #EUBioCoalition #Biosolutions #GreenTransition #BioAct #BioTech #Bio #SustainableEurope

🇪🇺 "Europe cannot just be the cradle for new solutions, what is born here should also grow up and stay here” said Executive Vice-President of the Commission Margrethe Vestager. We couldn't agree more. As a UE-born pioneer in the field of food biomanufacturing, we were delighted to see yesterday's published “Communication on Biotech and Biomanufacturing” by the European Commission. It is very encouraging and a long awaited signal for our industry to witness the Commission set out an ambitious vision for Biotech and Biomanufacturing in Europe. We second EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries' message that we need to move quickly from “rhetoric into policy and legislation action for competitiveness, enabling innovators to thrive and grow, and creating long term investment into infrastructures, employment and skills in Europe.” As a member of EuropaBio, Cellular Agriculture Europe, Start Industrie and France Deeptech, we will engage with policymakers and other stakeholders such as the EU Biosolutions coalition in the French and European ecoystems to support the translation of the communication into legislation and regulation, such as an EU Biotech Act. #biotech #biomanufacturing #EUBioAct

Excited to join the concluding panel of the EuropaBio - the European Association for Bioindustries Biomanufacturing Policy Summit! 🌟 Join me and other industry leaders as we discuss "How does Policy deliver for Biomanufacturing - Looking Ahead."
