TWB, an original model ­supporting the bioeconomy

Toulouse White Biotech (TWB) is a good example to how scaling and collaboration through production partnerships can help the industrial biotech sector to satisfy the urgent need to speed up and scale sustainable processes for industrial production.

Biofilms for production

Researchers have presented a novel method to promote biofilm formation. They believe their method can help to increase the efficiency of biocatalysis in biotechnological production processes and thus allow cost-effective recycling of waste, as well as carbon dioxide conversion into chemical building blocks and natural gas,
or amino acids.

Banks and policymakers driving climate change

Last year, the  G7 heads declared to end funding for the oil industry by the end of this year. At the COP27 in November, the WHO and United Nations renewed promises to redirect the hundreds of billions of dollars invested annually in fossil fuels to fund renewable energy initiatives.

Wholistic approach to strategic consulting

Strategic planning for the development of a novel therapy is critically important to reduce financial burdens, save time, and find the best, shortest path forwards. No two products will have the same pathway or same criterion for optimisation, but early, forward-looking planning can result in greater efficiency and a better understanding of key decisions and timepoints along the course of novel therapy development.
