This Keynote Session will challenge the narrative that new bio-based technologies must immediately outperform or perfectly replace their fossil-based counterparts in every dimension—from efficiency and cost to environmental footprint. It will ask whether our expectations for perfection are slowing down the very transition we need, and whether innovation should be given room to evolve, scale, and improve over time.
The session will compare the historical evolution of fossil-based products with today’s fast-paced demands on bio-based solutions. It will explore how regulation, industry standards, and public perception can either enable or stifle progress—and how to shift toward a more pragmatic, enabling environment for bio-based innovation.

Pharmaceutical innovation is at a turning point. For decades, chemical intermediates have been the backbone of APIs and excipients. But the next wave of progress lies in biomanufacturing, where biotechnology transforms renewable feedstocks into pharma-grade functional ingredients — in fewer steps, with reduced environmental impact, and with unprecedented control over functionality and performance.
This Keynote Session will highlight how biomanufacturing reshapes both sides of the pharma value chain:
- Excipients & Functional Ingredients: Fermentation- and bio-based polymers, polysaccharides, and stabilizers offering better solubility, bioavailability, and patient compliance, with a sustainability advantage.
- Integrated Bioprocessing: The promise of “one-step” biomanufacturing platforms where both actives and excipients can be derived from the same biological system, reducing complexity and boosting resilience.
Strategic Perspectives:
- Sustainability & ESG: Meeting pharma’s rising demand for greener supply chains and reducing the carbon footprint of formulations.
- Innovation in Functionality: Designing new excipients with novel functionalities (e.g., targeted delivery, controlled release, enhanced stability).
- Regulatory & Market Readiness: Aligning with the EU Biotech Act and regulatory frameworks to accelerate market adoption.

KEYNOTE SESSION 3 - 11:00 AM - 1:00 PM
11:00 AM -
1:00 PM
A new food revolution is underway—one powered not by fields and animals, but by microbes, molecules, and carbon. Advances in precision fermentation, microbial engineering, and molecular farming are redefining how proteins, fats, and nutrients are made. At the same time, the integration of C1/C2 renewable feedstocks—including CO₂, H₂, and biogenic acids or alcohols—opens the way for carbon-efficient, circular, and scalable food production.
This Plenary Session will spotlight the latest technological breakthroughs driving this transition—from gas fermentation and microbial foods to engineered plants producing functional peptides and nutraceuticals. It will explore how these innovations can deliver safe, affordable, and resource-efficient alternatives to conventional food systems—bringing production closer to the concept of “food from air”.
While innovation leads the way, the discussion will also acknowledge the industrialisation challenges ahead: scaling, infrastructure, investment, and the regulatory environment—particularly the Novel Food approval process, which remains a key bottleneck for European deployment.
