Knowledge Based Bio-Economy towards 2020
Turning Challenges into Opportunities
Exhibition
Exhibition Catalogue (1.1 MB)
The bio-economy has a lot to offer to people, planet and profit. Europe already has taken a firm position in building a bio-based economy. Today it already produces a broad range of bio-based products and is the global market leader in industrial enzymes technology
The bioeconomy field is an extraordinarily diverse one. Applications range from food and animal feed to chemicals and materials such as detergents, industrial lubricants, paper and pulp, textiles, and pharmaceuticals and energy.
Bio-based products are all around us, often much closer than we might think!
Goal of the KBBE towards 2020 conference exhibition is to make the bio-based economy more tangible and visible and to raise awareness for the societal benefits a shift to a bio-based economy can bring forth.
20 exhibition stands from large companies, SME's and research institutions, from different European countries will guide you through an interesting sample of what a bio-based economy has to offer. You will be amazed by the different applications of red, white, green and blue biotechnology and the resulting bio-based products: from flower pots to tires, from sports drinks to mattresses, from animal feed to plastics.
These exhibited products and processes give a first glance of the enormous potential of biotechnology to tackle health, climate, food scarcity and other challenges. Furthermore, this exhibition will show once again Europe’s strength in research and knowledge base on the bio-based economy and, even more important, how innovative ideas and excellent research can be converted into exciting products and processes that bring Europe a step closer to a green and sustainable society with significant improvements in well-being.
