Since 2017, we have been building a permanent, interdisciplinary research community whose common goal is to advance industrial biotechnology in Europe. From life sciences, to chemical engineering, and computational sciences, IBISBA provides greater accessibility to national research facilities and services across Europe in order to provide seamless support for end-to-end bioprocess development. Each research facility provides its unique expertise, forming the different links in the biotechnology R&D value chain.

Together, they ensure the necessary R&D continuum across all upstream to downstream R&D activities required for industrial biotech projects to scale. Moreover, IBISBA is designed to meet 21st century science and technology challenges, providing the depth of pan-European cooperation required to harness the opportunities offered by powerful digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence.
