CLIB International Conference 2024 “Biomanufacturing a greener future“

February 21-22, 2024:

CLIB is an international open-innovation cluster of large companies, small- to medium-size enterprises (SMEs), start- ups, academic institutes and universities, as well as other stakeholders active in biotechnology and the circular bioeconomy as a whole. In our non-profi t association, the members shape our cluster’s interests and activities, and we work to promote industrial biotechnology in sustainable processes. We are active since 2008 and have built a strong and trustworthy network since then. Together with our members, we are putting our mission into practice: networking biotechnology – creating sustainability.

CLIB International Conference 2024 focus is “Biomanufacturing a greener future“ and we will address how biomanufacturing is going to change our industry and the way we produce. Which innovations can biomanufacturing make accessible today and in the future? How will it contribute to the biologisation of industries and thus generate new added value? Can it help to meet the challenges of climate change? Together with you, we want to discuss these and other questions and examine them from different perspectives.
