⏮️ Looking back on BIOKET 2025: Inspiring discussions and new opportunities! 🚀 What an incredible event filled with meaningful exchanges and valuable connections! The diverse audience—executives from both large and small companies, technologists, scientists—brought a truly international perspective all along the Biotech Value Chain.  iMEAN and Pili, our hosted start-ups, were also part of the event!   Our booth attracted significant interest from potential clients exploring collaborations and from equipment providers keen to engage with our activities. 💡🤝 and the numerous B2B meetings helped strengthen partnerships, evaluate new collaboration opportunities, and showcase our expertise.   We were also thrilled by the great turnout at our sponsored session, moderated by our CTO Olivier Galy, featuring top-tier speakers and insightful discussions! 🔹 Key highlights: ✅ The presentation of the report "Harnessing the Economic and Environmental Benefits of Advanced Biotechnology", led by McKinsey with key industry players. This strategic report serves as a guide for stakeholders to maximize the potential of biotechnology in a sustainable way. We are proud to be recognized as a key actor in fostering collaboration and cohesion in this complex and fragmented ecosystem! ✅ A compelling keynote by Lorie Hamelin (INRAE) in the session "The Environmental Impact of Bio-based Products and Biomanufacturing", highlighting new Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approaches in the biotech industry. This solicitation emphasizes INRAE’s influence as driving force in this field. ✅ The presentation of the Carnot 3BCAR network by Nathalie Turc and Luc FILLAUDEAU during the last day plenary, bringing forward the Toulouse Biotech Alley (TWB/CRITT Bio-Industries/TBI - Toulouse Biotechnology Institute, Bio & Chemical Engineering) as significant element, in their focus on the biotech ecosystem strengths. ✅ The inspiring visits of some industrial sites in Belgium, as Ajinomoto’s, and Vito’s LignoValue.   Thank you to our collaborators, Claire TUBIA, Laure Tastet, Ph.D., Olivier Galy and Tiphaine CLEMENT, for their valuable interventions and high-quality representation. A huge thank you to the organizers and all our partners for these enriching discussions. We’re excited to turn these conversations into concrete actions! 🚀
