CLIB - Cluster industrielle Biotechnologie

CLIB International Conference CIC2027
2027-02-17 08:00 - 2027-02-18 17:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Lindner Hotel Düsseldorf Seestern, Lütticher Straße 130, Düsseldorf, 40547, Germany
Beyond business as usual – How biotechnology can thrive in a changing world
In our community, one thing is clear: business as usual will not be enough. In a world shaped by geopolitical shifts, economic uncertainty, resource constraints, and accelerating technological change, incremental adaptation alone will not suffice. But the biotechnology community must also take a critical look at itself and challenge familiar pathways and established assumptions. To thrive, we must rethink how we develop and scale biotechnological processes, make better use of digitalisation and scale-down approaches, and create more flexible business models.
At this year’s CLIB conference, we will therefore take a thoughtful look at the status quo, explore emerging opportunities, and discuss what it will take for biotechnology not only to adapt to a changing world, but to actively shape it. Join us in Düsseldorf on 17 and 18 February and connect with more than 200 participants. Together, we will rethink how biotechnological processes are developed and scaled and how digitalisation can accelerate innovation and improve process efficiency. We will also explore how the vast potential of lignin can be unlocked as a renewable feedstock for a wide range of biobased products and how more flexible business models can help drive a thriving and sustainable bioeconomy.
The registration will open soon.

CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference 2027
2027-04-21 - 2027-04-23
The CO2-based Fuels and Chemicals Conference has successfully established itself as an international and unique meeting and networking ground for the entire Carbon Capture and Utilisation (CCU) and Power-to-X industry and its customers. The upcoming 15th edition of the conference will take place on 21–22 April 2027, Cologne, Germany as a hybrid event. Organiser nova-Institute expects over 230 leading international experts in the field of CCU, green hydrogen production and Power-to-X. Once more the event will showcase the latest innovations and most important developments in the fast-growing field of Carbon Capture and Utilisation with plenty of opportunities to network.

A milestone for the enforcement of CCU was reached on 28 June 2024 when the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament published the Net-Zero Industry Act (NZIA) in their Official Journal. The act finally acknowledges CO2 utilisation as an eligible strategic net zero technology, hereby providing an official reference and foundation to support and encourage the deployment of clean technology, such as CCU throughout Europe. With a current capacity of over 1.5 million tonnes for CO2-based products and steadily growing demand, CCU technologies are helping to establish CO2 as a renewable carbon feedstock, highlighting the urgency of investment and innovation in this field.
