"Scaling up a production process is a technical challenge, though finding the right scale-up direction in an early-stage market might be even harder."

Dr. Konstantinos Antonopoulos, Co-Founder & CEO, mk2 Biotechnologies, Germany

"Exploring over 50 key applications of immobilized enzymes in the pharmaceutical, chemical and food industries with an in-depth look at the types of reactor and media used."

Dr. Alessandra Basso, Business Development Manager Life Sciences, Purolite, Great Britain

"Using Codexis protein engineering technology, five enzymes were engineered towards a highly efficient cascade reaction to generate a small-molecule drug from simple building blocks. Enzymes were engineered to work on non-native substrates, with high activity, stability, and stereoselectivity, under industrially-relevant process conditions."

Dr. Margie Borra-Garske, Senior Scientist, Codexis, Redwood City/USA

"Our vision is to revolutionize the way enzymes are discovered enabling our customers to build profitable green industrial processes for a sustainable future."

Dr. Christian Gruber, CEO, Innophore GmbH

“Biocatalysis is the key to sustainable,
environment-friendly and affordable chemical manufacturing. Not only in future, but already today.”

Dr. Gregor Kubik, Business Development Manager, Enzymaster Deutschland GmbH, Germany

"Accumulated hands-on expertise in enzyme discovery and engineering & fast and reliable service are the main competitive advantages of GECCO Biotech."

Dr. Nikola Loncar, Co-Founder & CEO, GECCO Biotech, The Netherlands

"ZYMVOL is changing the way enzymes are engineered. Today, tailor-made enzymes are available to any industry looking for a new biocatalyst."

Dr. Fatima Lucas, Managing Director, ZYMVOL, Spain

"Enzyme cascades − industrial processes with improved product quality and less downstream afford."

André Pick, CEO, CASCAT GmbH, Germany

"Recycling of Novozyme was studied using Spin Chem® RBR technology for the preparation of a key building block. Various parameters such as type of immobilized enzyme, loading, rate of agitation, temperature and scalability were studied."

Dr. Subhash Pithani, Senior Research Scientist, AstraZeneca, Sweden

"Membrane assisted process intensification paves the way for the application of  biocatalysis in industrial processes. My talk will include the examples for chiral amines, esters and oligosaccharides synthesis using membrane based approaches."

Dr. Yamini Satyawali, Managing Director, ChiralVision, The Netherlands

"Finding the right enzyme takes you half the way. Designing the production process around it and applying immobilization to allow for more extreme conditions, recycling and full removal takes you all the way."

Dr. Rob Schoevaart, Managing Director, ChiralVision, The Netherlands

"Molecular oxygen and water are excellent reactants to introduce oxyfunctionalities into chemical products or oxidise them further in efficient and safe biocatalytic processes."

Dr. Martin Schürmann, Principal Scientist Biocatalysis, InnoSyn B.V., Geleen/The Netherlands

"Green chemistry is a versatile tool to help address global sustainability challenges, but technology is needed to use it efficiently."

Dr. Elin Stridfeldt, Lead Researcher, EnginZyme, Sweden

"In vitro multi enzyme cascades with engineered enzymes outcompete fermentation processes enabled by metabolic engineering."

Dr. Marc Struhalla, c-ELecta, Germany
