"The major challenges for Enzymes in new industrial applications are:
(1) Building the right partnership, since enzyme development and formulation are closely linked to application
(2) Keeping an eye on economic requirements from the very beginnings
(3) Considering Health & Safety and sustainability aspects
and IP from the start
(4) Being aware that due to fermentation and down-stream processes and formulation enzyme molecules are not an enzyme product"
