What we talk about when we talk about “Novel” Foods

The European Biosolutions Coalition has published an explainer on Novel Foods, outlining what they are, how they are produced, and why they are an essential part of Europe’s future food system.

Position paper on the EU Biotech Act

Europe finds itself at a critical juncture as the global race for biosolutions heats up. But currently, regulation and legislation is lacking behind. Europe needs a bold and broad Biotech Act. Read our full position on the Biotech Act in our position paper.

How Biosolutions can strengthen Europe’s sustainability, resilience and competitiveness

A biorevolution is under way. It has great potential to deliver on the green agenda worldwide, but EU regulations are slowing down the development of biosolutions and weaken the competitiveness of Europe and European biosolutions companies. Integrating biosolutions into our practices and paradigms would greatly strengthen Europe's sustainability, resilience and competitiveness. You can learn just how biosolutions can do that in our published manifest.

Declaration: The Biosolutions Industry is Key to Competitiveness, Geopolitical- Resilience, and Sustainability

Biosolutions can reduce environmental impact and enhance economic benefits by leveraging innovations.

Making Europe's Biorevolution Happen

This publication presents European biosolutions innovators already building that future. Their work shows that the biorevolution is not an abstract promise but a growing industrial reality. Yet, it also reveals the barriers; slow regulation, fragmented policies, and underinvestment that risks turning Europe into the place where technologies are invented only to see them scaled elsewhere. Read more, and discover the companies that are shaping Europe's future, in this publication.

Biosolutions Glossary

Biosolutions will be ever-more important for our needs in the future, but as they continue to evolve, they also grow ever more complex.
