Which input provides your business model/core technology towards a bio-based economy?
PILI proposes a competitive alternative to the 1.8Mt petrochemical textile dyes market (€8bn) through the production of bio-based products.
Which market/clients do you address and which short-term/long-term goals do you have?
We address first of all the market of textile dyes. We aim at validating two ranges of products in 2019 and start our industrialization in 2021.
What makes your approach unique compared to other stakeholders in the field?
None of the current actors in the textile dyes sector are involved in biotechnology. Among other biotech companies, PILI differentiates through a market-pull approach mimicking existing products.
You can meet PILI in Toulouse at the START-UP VILLAGE @EFIB on 17-18 October.
