How can Denmark and Europe maintain their leadership in biotechnology?

 

Our co-founder and CEO Thomas Schmidt discusses this important topic in an opinion piece for Børsen.

As we continue to make groundbreaking strides in biosolutions and fermentation technology, it’s clear that governments have a key role in securing our competitive edge.

Denmark has for a long time been a global leader in fermentation processes — powering industries from medicine and enzymes to food production. But as we look to the future, we must ensure that the biotech industry has the support and infrastructure it needs to scale and succeed.

The potential in nutrition and materials is enormous, and with the right backing. Danish biosolutions could be at the center of providing better nutrition and distinctly new materials in an environmentally friendly way.

A significant investment in new fermentation plants across the world is required and will come. Danish Industry has proposed more direct governmental support and investments in EU and Denmark. This could help ensure that innovation is accelerated in Europe.
