The Biocat4Value – Biocatalysis Conference for Biological Transformation along Renewable Value Chains is organized by the European Federation of Biotechnology (efb) Biocatalysis Division and will be held on 18-20 November 2024 in Düsseldorf, Germany.
Connecting leading bioeconomy regions in Europe to meet the increasing demands for biobased materials and scalable process technologies thereof, with a focus on biocatalysis as enabler is the core of the Biocat4Value Biocatalysis Conference. We positioned Biocat4Value as a pioneering gathering to foster collaboration and networking along value chains across Europe.
Embracing biocatalysis means embracing innovation across industries: From pharmaceuticals to agriculture, from food production to textiles, the applications of biocatalysis are limitless. By replacing fossil-based processes with biological ones with low CO2 footprints, we reduce waste, energy consumption, environmental impact, and empower a truly sustainable bioeconomy.
The conference serves as a networking platform for leading industrial companies, SMEs, academia, and founders to come together, share their insights, and explore opportunities for value generating innovations.
The main topics for discussion will focus on the enabling role of biocatalysis in the context of:
- Promotion of industrial bioeconomy
- Generation of new value chains
- Exploration of venues to high value products from biomass and renewable sources
- Valorization of biomass to platform chemicals or materials.
Pioneering activities and flagship projects in leading bioeconomy regions can be found all over Europe. Let us bring them together in Düsseldorf, in the heart of the Rhine-Ruhr metropolitan region, to share knowledge and push boundaries of biocatalysis research for a sustainable bioeconomy.
We are looking forward to your participation and meeting you in Düsseldorf in November 2024!
On behalf of the Organising Committee Prof. Ulrich Schwaneberg and Dr. Thomke Bergs
