KETBIO has a clear mission: to identify Europe`s most innovative results in biotechnology research and speed up their market uptake. KETBIO aims to bring the biotechnology community together in an interactive, vibrant forum, deploying latest technology to increase knowledge and reduce barrier to entry and interaction, and provide value-adding activities to the community. Our goal is to Identify and screen EU funded KET biotechnology projects from the following focus areas:

• Novel sources of biomass and bio-products

• Marine and fresh-water biotechnology

• Industrial biotechnology: added value bio-products and bio-processes

• Bio-refining

• Environmental biotechnology

• Emerging trends in biotechnology

The projects will then be value assessed by a panel of experts to ultimately ‘showcase’ the most promising projects via a ‘flagship’ booklet and ‘KETBIO Roadshow’ at major biotechnology events across Europe.
