Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC) published their newest Trend Report 2024 – 2025, featuring an expert interview with our CEO, Jon Goriup, on the topic of “Harnessing the power of artificial intelligence to boost biomanufacturing”.
It shares insights into how AI will fundamentally transform biomanufacturing by reducing the risks, complexity, and costs of innovation for companies, while identifying new sustainable opportunities that were previously hidden.
Why does this matter?
Biomanufacturing presents a huge opportunity for Europe. It can boost its competitiveness and autonomy, reduce reliance on fossil materials, and create more resilient, Europe-centric supply chains.
But right now, too many breakthrough innovations never make it past the lab.
“For example, a food manufacturer aiming to valorise its by-products gets up to 10x more value from them through a solution developed with AI. Currently, the company diverts tens of thousands of tons of by-products annually to a local biogas plant, achieving limited valorisation while missing significant financial and climate impact opportunities.”
– Jon Goriup in BIC Trend Report 2024 – 2025, Page 14-15
The report breaks down what needs to change to bring bio-based solutions to the market and make the bioeconomy a growth engine for the EU – from scaling investments in bio-based industries to securing a sustainable biomass supply. It also covers practical business cases, policy recommendations, and technical innovations.
