Description: In this episode of Machines and Molecules, Markus Müller, Project Manager at CLIB – Cluster Industrial Biotechnology, explains the value of cluster organizations in advancing biotechnology by connecting industry players and researchers. Markus emphasizes that CLIB differs from traditional industry groups by acting as a neutral mediator, fostering collaboration rather than lobbying. Key challenges discussed include the difficulty of integrating biotech and AI into established industries, especially due to communication gaps between technical and non-technical stakeholders. Markus highlights biotechnology’s role in creating sustainable alternatives to fossil-based processes, such as renewable bio-based plastics, while also addressing the bioeconomy’s potential for recycling and waste reduction. The conversation concludes with insights into effective strategies for bridging gaps between scientific advancements and policy decisions, aiming to create a supportive regulatory environment for biotechnological innovation.
