This workshop will focus on the industrial applications of fermentation technologies by highlighting SMEs that are using biomass, precision and gas fermentation. Their innovative technologies will be presented, along with ways to promote scaling up production.
After these industry insights, a panel of experts will discuss topics such as research and innovation, infrastructure, the role of farmers, public acceptance, market development, and profitability and pricing. In addition to the fermentation types presented at the beginning of the workshop, micro fermentation will be discussed. Our CEO Wim Soetaert will join the panel discussion, together with 3 other experts.
Finally, an open discussion will take place, allowing all workshop participants to share their views, based on questions that will be shared in advance. The main objective of the workshop will be to identify the key challenges and opportunities for food production enabled by modern fermentation techniques in Europe.
