What is Biotechnology/Biomanufacturing?
Biotechnology is the use of biology to solve problems and make useful products. It uses cellular and biomolecular process to develop products that help improve our lives and the health.
This field is advancing rapidly in our region and it has more and more applications in our day-to-day lives: from pharmaceutical development to food production and the treatment of polluting waste.
Many companies in our region specialize in biotechnology as they design breakthrough products and technologies to combat debilitating and rare diseases, reduce our environmental footprint, combat hunger, use less and cleaner energy, and have safer, cleaner and more efficient industrial manufacturing processes.
