Live stream. ‘When the streamed video is sent over the Internet in real time, without first being recorded and stored.’ Actually, the Global Hemp Innovation Center is being lead through a months-long process by the Trebuchet Group developing a strategic plan to guide our faculty, partners, and stakeholders through the future. Thank you Josh Schuler and Gurudev Khalsa for adeptly and insightfully guiding us through this important process that will have long-lasting impact. We are live right now, right now doing this, but not actually ‘livestream’ - wish we were, so you could see the sausage making that is going on here. Many insights processed from the nine focus groups who have participated, but there is still work to be done. We have a great strategic planning team made up of Gordon Jones, Zhaohui Wu, Anne Sinkey, Jonathan Leong, CFA, Kelly Vining, Bonny Jo Peterson, David Gang, Jennifer Duringer, Yanyun Zhao, Alexis Eichler, and Eric Pike.

See you there!

A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR BIO BUSINESSES On January 11 we are kicking off the new year by exploring the future of Danish bioeconomy with Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) at an interesting seminar hosted by the Novo Nordisk Foundation and organized by Food & Bio Cluster Denmark and the Danish Ministry of Education and Research Join us in investigating the latest in Danish bioeconomy trends, collaboration opportunities, and the CBE JU program's benefits – including funding opportunities! The seminar will consist of:  🌱 Cases from the innovative companies driving the Danish bioeconomy such as Novozymes.  💡 Insights from various industry leaders, including our very own Mikael Wraae Valsted.   💸 An overview of the funding opportunities offered by CBE JU and step-by-step guidance in the application process provided by Head of Programme, Virginia Puzzolo. In short, a great opportunity for circular and bio-based companies to get updates on bioeconomy trends and explore potential funding sources!

Thanks for the feature, Harrison SPARC Pty Ltd ☺️ Read it below ⬇️ "Recently, Anthony Granville PhD GAICD, Innovation Manager for Harrison SPARC Pty Ltd, had the incredible opportunity to visit Singapore, highlighting the importance of expanding Harrison SPARC’s expertise and skill set through global collaboration. In today's interconnected world, building partnerships domestically and internationally is paramount for fostering innovation and driving positive change. During the trip he had the privilege of meeting with Akbar Vahidi, CTO, Co-founder, Allozymes and the team who are leaders in creating robust bio solutions for a greater tomorrow. Their commitment to replacing traditional manufacturing methods with cleaner greener and scalable alternatives is truly inspiring and they are certainly leading the charge in sustainable bio solutions for a growing world. It was remarkable to witness first-hand how partnerships with forward thinking companies like Allozymes can revolutionise industries and pave the way for a sustainable future. By collaborating on research and innovation initiatives we have the opportunity to replace environmentally endangering processes with clean biological alternatives, thus making our industries more sustainable moving forward. At the heart of it all, building relationships with businesses like Allozymes isn't just about business, it's about working together as catalysts for change and collectively building a better future for the planet. Let's continue to embrace collaboration and partnership as the driving forces behind innovation and progress. Together we can make a meaningful difference!" #Allozymes #Biotechnology #Innovation

Dear Ag-sustainability enthusiasts, I’ll be attending the Future of Food and Agriculture conference of the Innovation Forum, on May 14th and 15th in Amsterdam. If you want to (re-)connect, and hear about the great work we do at Regrow, come and find me directly at the conference, or ping me on LinkedIn to organise a meeting. During the conference, I’ll be speaking at two different sessions: Breakout: Tuesday 14th, at 13.30 - 14.15 Topic: Science Based Targets: How companies are successfully implementing FLAG guidance, to reduce scope 3 and report on the impact Panel: Wednesday 15th: 10.55 - 11.40 Topic:  From pilots to standards to scale: Is a regenerative framework the key to success?

💥 Exciting news!💥 Brilian has contributed to the Model2Bio #WhitePaper on Food & Drink Waste Management! The paper highlights the potential of #agrifood #byproducts, focusing on key residual streams like potato steam peels, cheese whey, brewer's spent grain, grape seeds & peels, and olive leaves. 🥔🧀🍺🍇🫒 These by-products present opportunities for #sustainable #valorization, creating 💡✅ high-value products. The paper also underscores the importance of decision support tools and recognizes the #barriers 🔒 to valorization. To realize this potential, it calls for commitment from all 🫵  #stakeholders , from #producers to #consumers and #policymakers, and Brilian will continue with this endeavor! Follow us in our journey! You can find the full version here 📌 https://lnkd.in/dp6bjUVT. Congratulations, Model2Bio! You've done an impressive work! This project is co-funded by the Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU) initiative under the Horizon Europe program. - Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) #Brilian #BrilianProject #CircularFutureforRuralAreas

Exciting news from Open Innovation at Evonik! Evonik has launched this year different open innovation challenges that are set to revolutionize the industry. The first challenge, which was now closed, was seeking innovative applications for our Polyvest® product around e-mobility. The best three proposals are going to be discussed and followed up with the Polyvest® expert team of Evonik. Let´s congratulate the winner proposals who came up with outstanding ideas to help drive sustainable transportation: Prof. Emrah Çakmakçı. Marmara University. Turkey, Dr. Philipp Schwiderowski, Patrick Diehl, M.Sc. Ruhr University Bochum. And Jan Nordhausen, B.Eng. Dortmund University of Applied Sciences. Germany. Lisa Hetzel and Eduard Gil Olaria. Ruhr University Bochum. Germany.   The second challenge, running until April 30th, is looking for innovative ideas to approach sustainable production and reduce CO2 formation globally. We are seeking ideas from students, PhD students, Postdocs, R&D institutions, and start-ups in area of chemistry, biology, waste management, polymer science and engineering. Visit and join us together on this journey to create a more sustainable future! https://lnkd.in/eDzEH4df #Evonik #EvonikOpenInnovation #Polyvest #SustainableProduction #AnimalNutrition #defossilation #openinnovationchallenges #crowdsourcing

Here is my 1-min testimonial on the collaborative work we have developed at the SMARTBOX Project. The work performed was part of WP3, devoted to developing and applying with success! an enzyme engineering platform to three bio-based value chains from lignocellulose: (i) 2,5-diformylfuran (DFF) and 2,5-furan-dicarboxylic acid (FDCA) for bioplastics, (ii) syringaresinol for speciality polymers, and (iii) vanillin for food. #enzymes, #biocatalysis, #computationalengineering, #industrialbiotechnology #circulareconomy Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking (CBE JU)

Do you know how to grow (almost) anything? Yesterday, I had the pleasure of completing my journey here in Boston by visiting Ginkgo Bioworks, Inc. The day before, I participated in Ferments, a highly insightful event that featured amazing talks about how to blend science, products, and art. I want to extend my gratitude to Beatriz Pacheco for her time and invitation, which made us feel truly special. Observing their operations from inside my benchmarket was truly inspiring. Witnessing how they work and enhance the potential of #bioengineering makes it clear that our goal is to simplify #bioengineering, making it faster and less risky. Additionally, seeing how we can differentiate ourselves from them is crucial. Apart from securing numerous rounds of investment, we have different approaches to providing solutions. BioLinker focuses on protein engineering, while #bioengineering concentrates on protein expression, production, and purification. All platforms for expression and improving expression are welcome. I see potential for collaboration between us! Since there is still much to discover and improve in this field, we are merely at the beginning. Moreover, Latin America possesses vast biodiversity, which can be leveraged to further differentiate ourselves in the realm of biology. What do you think about the #bioengineering future?
