The final event in this year’s CIC2021 series will take place as a hybrid event at the Lindner Congress Hotel in Düsseldorf on 29 June. Under the motto “Biotechnology 2021: Advancing into a decade of sustainability”, we will discuss topics such as structural change, technology transfer and scaling of biotechnological processes, sustainable solutions for the textile industry and contributions of biotechnology to closing the loop in plastics. In these diverse thematic areas, we want to highlight contributions of biotechnology to sustainability and to the transformation of industry.
