Polish Technology Platform for Biotechnology
European Technology Platform for
Sustainable Chemistry
Industrial Biotechnology Steering Group
Main aims of the Platform activity
 to build a platform between science and industry in scope of
development of new Biotechnologies
 to integrate key economic and research partners interested in
technologies based on bioprocesses
 to build a strategy for developing modern Biotechnology in Poland
 to elaborate implementation methods of new biotechnologies in
industrial processes, health care, environment and agriculture
 to take optimum advantage from Structural Funds
 to participate actively in European Research Programmes
 to promote processes and products of Biotechnology
 to cooperate in creating the policy and law facilitating development of
Biotechnology
National Framework Programme
Key Research areas:
 Industrial Biotechnology:
 Replacement of traditional non-biological industrial processes with
bioprocesses and obtaining high added-value products:
- bio-pharmaceutics
- new biocatalysts
- particular chemicals and semi-finished products
for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry
- new generation food products
- bio-pesticide
 Production of biomaterials (e.g. bio-degradating plastics) and biofuels from renewable raw materials
 Bioremediation
National Framework Programme
Key Research areas:
 Biotechnology in Medicine
 Molecular diagnostics
 Therapy and prevention
 Biotechnology in Agriculture
