Welcome to EFIB 2019
Thank you for joining us in Brussels for the 12th edition of EFIB!
How does industrial biotechnology contribute to establishing a healthy and sustainable planet? This is one of the topics to be ad-
dressed at this year’s EFIB, bringing together professionals from business, policy, academia and media to meet, discuss and raise
awareness of advancements and innovations in industrial biotechnology and the bioeconomy.
As we return with EFIB to Brussels, we are in the midst of a year of EU institutional transition. In view of current policy and societal
challenges, new priorities and focus areas are being set, with climate action amongst those in focus.
As issues such as climate change, but also developing sustainable products and processes and improving health and nutrition are
becoming increasingly pressing, so does the need to prioritise and invest in innovative solutions from industrial biotech and other
cutting edge technologies. We are at an important time to engage in a new dialogue and embrace the potential of biotechnology
in Europe.
There are many topics to be explored at this year’s EFIB. This includes insights from industry, the World Business Council for
Sustainable Development, the EU institutions and academia with sessions on themes including the future of plastics, food, feed &
nutrition, and bio-based industrial processes. Perspectives will also be given on linking the circular economy and the bioeconomy.
Finding innovative solutions in fields such as these also links well to the role that the future EU R&I framework - Horizon Europe
can play and the need to promote Public Private Partnerships such as an ambitious successor to the Bio-based Industries Joint
Undertaking (BBI JU) on a Circular bio-based Europe.
While in Brussels, you will also be able to engage with local and international start-ups in the 2nd edition of the Start-Up Village and
get a taste of the future at our themed evening reception.
Lastly, a work of sincere thanks to all contributors to EFIB - delegates, sponsors, exhibitors, advisory board and supporting partners.
We hope you will have an enjoyable, informative and productive event.

For over 50 years, French farmers have been striving to take their destiny into their own hands, through verti-
cal integration. The first invetments in food processing started in the 1960’s in the malt, milling and corn
industries. In the 80’s, the notion of value creation trough non-food applications emerged, a vision which led
to the creation of ARD (Agro-Industrie Recherches et Développements). A stakeholder in the Bazancourt-
Pomacle biorefinery, near Reims in France, ARD is a mutualised private research structure, owned by major
players in French agribusiness as well as regional farming cooperatives. It was created in 1989 to find new
opportunities for creating value from its shareholders’ produce (cereals, sugar beet, alfafa, oilseeds, etc.).
