BioKatalyse
  • AO-NIB, Biocatalysis, Coordinator, Finished projects, Process development, Regional-flanders, SME support, VLAIO/AO, Value chain building, WP leader

The aim of BIOKATALYSE is to acquaint traditional chemical industry with the Key Enabling Technology Biocatalysis. Biocatalysis is a technology that uses enzymes instead of chemical catalysts to catalyse or speed up chemical processes. The target group is the Flemish chemical industry that is mainly making use of conventional chemical conversion techniques.
