We are delighted to welcome you back to Brussels on the occasion of EFIB’s 10th birthday.

It has been an eventful decade, which has seen

huge progress made in raising awareness of the

fundamental role of industrial biotech in developing

smarter, more sustainable products and processes.

EFIB has played a vital role on this journey,

providing a central meeting place for policy and

business communities to discuss how to harness

the full potential of this transformative technology.

Industrial biotech is now also recognised as a key

enabler of a dynamic, competitive and resource-

efficient circular bioeconomy. Since the adoption

of the EU’s own Bioeconomy Strategy, five years

ago, numerous national and regional strategies

have been developed, paving the way towards a

renewable future. Whilst progress and remaining

barriers are currently being reviewed, sectors

from throughout diverse bio-based value chains

are already calling for a full revision of the EU

Bioeconomy Strategy and for a second mandate

of the groundbreaking €3.7 billion Bio-based

Industries Joint Undertaking (BBI JU).

As always, EFIB will provide a platform for making

progress on such issues and for highlighting the

latest in groundbreaking innovation in industrial

biotech. This year, in addition to insights from

industry, the EU institutions, academia and media,

EFIB will feature perspectives from consumer

brands, such as PepsiCo, LEGO Group, IKEA,

Renault Group, L’OREAL and Michelin Group who

will discuss how to ensure commercial success and

accelerate the transition towards a brighter bio-

based future.

We trust that this year’s Congress will also provide

an abundance of opportunities to catch up with

old acquaintances and to forge new links in your

own bio-based value chains, through our 1-to-

1 partnering software, networking breaks and

receptions.

Our thanks to all of EFIB’s delegates, sponsors,

exhibitors and advisory board as we look forward

to celebrating 10 years of transformative Industrial

Biotechnology together with you at #EFIB2017

Welcome and thank you for being part of EFIB 2017

Presentation of John Sime Award at 15.40

Once again, the EFIB organisers are dedicating an award to John Sime who played a pivotal role in the early development of EFIB, in order to recognise John’s commitment to both EFIB and the bio-based economy and to remember him as part of the event. John’s own background as an R&D director for an SME ensured he was a keen advocate of new science and technology.

To reflect this, we will once again focus on the innovation track and the most innovative idea, which responds to social and environmental needs. The John Sime Award will be presented at the close of the EFIB conference by John Brennan, EuropaBio

Secretary General

Exhibitor and Partner Profiles

The BioEconomy Cluster in Central Germany is advancing the sustainable use of non-food biomass from an economic point of view and on the scale of a region of expertise for Germany and Europe. As part of the cluster network, more than 100 companies and research institutes are working to develop innovative processes for producing materials, platform chemicals, products and energy sources in order to create a bio-based economy.

Better Biomass is the international certification system for solid, liquid and gaseous biomass. The certificates are used to demonstrate the sustainability of the biomass used for energy, fuels and bio-based products.

Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (Ghent, Belgium) is a flexible and diversified pilot plant for the development, scale-up and custom manufacturing of bio-based processes at kilogram to multi-ton scale. BBEPP offers a large variety of expertise and equipment for biomass pretreatment, biocatalysis, fermentation, green chemistry and DSP.

Bio-based content certification enables transparent and credible communication about the bio-based content of a product, by means of a certificate and label with the percentage bio-based content. This not only involves the bio-based carbon content, but also the other elements hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen.

BioBase4SME, co-funded by the Interreg NWE Programme, offers professional innovation support services to SMEs and start-ups located in North-West Europe and active in the bio-economy. The support focuses on delivering proof of concept and a realistic business plan. BioBase4SME organises workshops, trainings, innovation biocamps and runs a very successful Innovation Coupon Scheme.

Agro and chemistry meet within a radius of 60km in the Biobased Delta, a region in the South-western Netherlands. Collaboration between and integration of technologically advanced farmers, the presence of agro & food companies, large chemical players, the presence of brand owners, a large number of innovative SMEs, renowned knowledge institutions, educational institutions, pilot and demonstration plants, and supporting governments: together they form the innovation eco system of Biobased Delta.

This conference provides an opportunity to network with customers and suppliers and learn about the various views and perceptions of the industry from many perspectives. However, it also brings together competitors in various markets, product lines and geographical regions. Because of this, conferences such as this can be the subject of close scrutiny by antitrust and competition law enforcement agencies. We feel it is prudent to remind our attendees at the outset of this conference that US antitrust laws and other national and local laws are applicable to the conduct that takes place at this conference. Each participant is responsible for their own conduct to ensure that they do not participate in any inappropriate conversations or exchanges of written or electronic material that would violate the antitrust and competition laws. The areas that could be deemed inappropriate discussion topics between or among competitors include discussions about current, pending or future pricing, customers, markets, strategic plans, margins, and products in development. This includes discussions about rebates, discounts, terms of sale or credit terms. It is inappropriate to discuss upcoming bids for business, allocation of customers, markets or regions. It is inappropriate to discuss capacity or rationalization thereof. It is inappropriate to discuss the possible boycott of a customer or supplier. It is inappropriate to discuss any plans or intent to dominate a market or to take joint action against a particular entity.

The presenters at this conference are sensitive to these issues and have crafted their presentations accordingly, but we need to be mindful of the appropriateness of our questions and answers that follow each presentation so as not to give the appearance of delving into any of the issues mentioned above. Antitrust and competition law enforcement is very active. We can conduct this conference in a meaningful, legal way so that the participants get the most out of their attendance, but at the same time keep communications within appropriate boundaries.

Thank you for your attention to these details and have a great conference!
