Denmark and Europe face a dual challenge: economic growth must continue, while increasingly relying on sustainable resources, resilient supply chains, and technologies that reduce dependence on fossil raw materials. Biosolutions can play a crucial role in addressing this challenge. Through biotechnology, enzymes, and microorganisms, researchers can develop new processes and products capable of replacing fossil- and chemical-based solutions.
With the establishment of Biosolutions DTU – Centre for Biosolutions, DTU is strengthening its efforts to make biosolutions a larger part of the green economy. The centre serves as an entry point to research and development within biosolutions across DTU's departments, centres, and projects, making it easier for industry, public authorities, and foundations to collaborate with DTU. In addition, the centre will enhance the visibility of responsibly applied biotechnology in society.
"At DTU, we are committed to sustainable technological transformation. Biosolutions can deliver bio-based solutions that can be implemented in industry, making Europe more prosperous, more sustainable, and more resilient. It is therefore essential that we translate the considerable research potential into solutions that have real societal impact," says Christine Nellemann, Pro-Rector at DTU.
