BIO Deutschland calls for ambitious EU Biotech Act
The industry association BIO Deutschland sees biotechnology as a key to solving global challenges. In a statement on the planned EU Biotech Act, the association calls for a cross-sectoral approach in order to strengthen Europe's competitiveness and innovative power. Biotechnology is indispensable for sustainable solutions in medicine, the environment, energy and industrial production.

BIO Deutschland proposes four key measures: Firstly, funding must be improved, for example through a European biotechnology initiative and targeted funding programmes. Secondly, regulatory hurdles must be removed and authorisation procedures simplified. Thirdly, cooperation between politics, science and industry should be intensified through an EU biotech office and a European network of national hubs. Fourthly, increased public relations work is necessary in order to create acceptance for biotechnological innovations. The EU Biotech Act should accelerate the transformation to a bioeconomy and secure Europe's role as a leading location for biotechnology in the long term.
