CLIB Inter­na­tion­al Con­fer­ence CIC2026

Today, indus­tri­al bio­tech­no­logy is already estab­lished in sev­er­al mar­kets and demon­strates its strengths in the pro­duc­tion of com­plex com­pounds. Fla­vours, fra­grances, enzymes, and sur­fact­ants are being com­pet­it­ively pro­duced via bio­tech­no­lo­gic­al pro­cesses. How­ever, there are oth­er areas such as poly­mers and com­mod­it­ies where bio­tech­no­lo­gic­ally pro­duced sub­stances are still in need for optim­isa­tion to reach indus­tri­al scale. The tech­no­logy might be ready, but import­ant hurdles remain:

• Integ­rat­ing bio­tech­no­logy into bulk markets.
• Devel­op­ing new areas of applic­a­tion and markets.
• Util­ising altern­at­ive raw mater­i­als cost-effectively.
• Imple­ment­ing biotech pro­cesses in exist­ing Ver­bund, or integ­rated, sites.
• Har­ness­ing the poten­tial of AI for the devel­op­ment of new pro­cesses and products.

But of course, there are also clev­er minds and new ideas on their way to over­come these hurdles and accel­er­ate the integ­ra­tion of bio­tech­no­logy across the industry.
