European High Level Summit on Biosolutions
On the 21st of February 2024, we hosted the first ever European High Level Summit on biosolutions in Brussels. We hosted representatives from the Commission, MEPS and European companies to discuss how biosolutions can strengthen Europe's sustainability, resilience and competitiveness.
Today marked a significant milestone for the European Biosolutions Coalition at the first European High-Level Summit on biosolutions in Brussels.
Here, we had the privilege of formally presenting our policy recommendations directly to the European Commission represented by Mrs. Stina Soewarta, Head of Cabinet to Executive Vice President Vestager. Mrs. Vestager will present the Commission's Communication on Biotech and Biomanufacturing in March.
CEO of Novonesis also delivered a clear message to the European Commission: "There is a need to feed the world and find alternative new nutrition without harming the planet, there is a need to fuel the world sustainably and there is a need to produce all we need in a much more sustainable way. Biology can help us. This is happening big time in China and the US. We need to make it happen in Europe!
At the European Biosolutions Coalition we are looking forward to contribute to the Commission's work. We are here to help. Therefore, we were also very happy to finally publish our first manifest and policy recommendations titlted "How biosolutions can strengthen Europe's sustainability, resilience and competitiveness".
Biosolutions can deliver on the green agenda worldwide. Now, the time has come to unlock their full potential in Europe.
