The mission:

Alongside community building, the mission of the KETBIO-Biotech-Transfer EU initiative, is to identify the most promising research results emerging from EU-funded research projects in the key enabling biotechnologies, and to facilitate their path towards commercialisation. To achieve this KETBIO’s Commercial Committee (made up of senior experts from industry, technology transfer consultants and venture capital specialists) screened and evaluated 300 EU-funded projects and identified the 30 most promising developments from across Europe. The selection criteria featured aspects such as: technology readiness, project results, potential impacts, market attractiveness, commercialisation support, entrance barriers, commitment and resources. The 30 selected projects — the top 10, and 20 highly innovative initiatives — are showcased in this publication, which will be widely spread among innovation experts, industry associations and beyond to raise awareness about the achievements of EU-funded biotech research and to support their introduction to the markets and wider society.

The focus:

KETBIO, the EU funded initiative for biotech transfer, is dealing with the key enabling biotechnologies and its EU research results to speed-up their market uptake. KETBIO has its focus on specific sub-segments of the key enabling biotechnologies which provide methods in bioengineering and in biochemistry for the production and processing in various industrial and technological areas. KETBIO also deals with cross-cutting issues to facilitate the path towards the commercialisation of the research results. Within these fields, the initiative`s goal is to create opportunities for particular contacts between the projects and partners.

Key enabling biotechnologies

The TOP TEN EU key enabling biotechnology research projects are:

First section

Using a ranking system, the reviewers selected the TOP TEN EU research projects in the key enabling biotechnologies. These are featured in the first section of this publication. They have all received full marks in at least four of the six evaluation categories. To be included in the TOP TEN the projects had to score at least 10.5 out of 15 during the evaluation process. Additionally, an online vote (with the participation of more than 350 cluster members) helped to identify the best of the best by covering a wide range of the market segments related to biotechnology. The TOP TEN stand out because of their unique novel approaches to key enabling biotechnology, marking them out as industry drivers and/or projects with a high potential impact in terms of their attractiveness in consumer and end-user markets while, at the same time, providing benefits for the environment and health. Twenty other highly innovative biotech developments are also part of the KETBIO PARADE of Biotech commercialisation. These are detailed in section two.

Second section

The KETBIO evaluators have rated 20 projects from the EU Biotechnology Research and Innovation Programmes as ‘highly innovative’ due to their outstanding performance in specific market segments in at least two categories (such as ‘Potential impact’, ‘Market attractiveness’, ‘Commercial readiness’ and ‘Commitment and resources’). The projects presented here cover product or process innovations that are very likely to be early market movers, or developments that may soon take on the hurdles of commercialisation. The biotech innovations range from biorefining to bio-based health products and medical materials, and from plant and soil control or monitoring and bioinformatic platform products, to environmentally friendly surfactants and sustainable building and water technologies. The highly innovative projects convinced the evaluators of the uniqueness of their approaches as well their ability to meet strong end-user needs or respond to pressing environmental or health challenges. To be included as a ‘highly innovative project’, the initiatives had to score at least 9 out of 15. Marks were given by evaluator groups made up of experts in technology transfer and members of the biotechnology and chemical industry from across Europe.

The Cluster:

The key enabling biotechnologies including the industrial biotechnology and the synthetic biology, with its pioneering developments recovering waste and CO2 by using biological and microbial engineering, will create less toxic, more energy saving and more eco-friendly products and processes that will have a positive impact on future circular economies. These bio-based technologies, however, still need a boost from investment and commercialisation. KETBIO, an EU-funded biotech transfer initiative, has set up an online cluster hub to act as a virtual platform. It already has more than 1 500 members from the European biotechnology research and innovation community to foster its commercialisation, clustering and communication activities.
