A global hub for Biosolutions
When you harness the power of biology you find new ways to reduce emissions and help hard-to-abate industries manufacture products with a smaller CO2 footprint.
In short, biosolutions are one of the most promising tools for accelerating the green transition, and Denmark offers an excellent environment for engaging in advanced biosolutions research.
Here you will benefit from a tightly connected ecosystem that brings together industry leaders, research institutions, and forward-thinking government policies. Join us and help foster new ideas that have large-scale potential.
