BioTechnologie Kursbuch Nr. 37
Berlin, 19.06.2024 – International competitiveness has become a central focus for the biotechnology sector, a field whose products and services hold great promise in tackling challenges such as climate change. Health and sustainability are the defining megatrends of our time. It’s no surprise, therefore, that the biotechnology sector in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria continues to grow steadily, even as the broader economy stagnates. A construction boom for new laboratory and production spaces is also underway.
The latest industry data, collected according to OECD standards, can be found in the 37th edition of the BioTechnologie Kursbuch. It also features in-depth reports on current trends, including new fuels for combating climate change, the status of New Genomic Techniques (NGTs) in Europe, and how modern precision fermentation presents a positive vision for the future. Concerns are addressed too: the US threatens to outpace Europe in biotechnology. In short, this edition offers a wealth of information for anyone looking to stay up-to-date on this still underestimated future technology.
