New EU Biotech & Biomanufacturing Hub

The European Commission has launched a new Biotech and Biomanufacturing Hub, a crucial operational tool designed to support start-ups and SMEs in navigating regulatory frameworks and scaling their innovations.

At GO!PHA, we recognize the challenges biotech companies face when bringing bio-based, biodegradable, and compostable materials (BBMs) like PHA to market. This Hub—one of the key deliverables of the EU Biotech and Biomanufacturing Communication (March 2024)—bridges these gaps by offering clear, accessible guidance (in all EU languages) on:

✅ EU Funding Sources – A breakdown of available grants and investments for biotech & biomanufacturing businesses.

✅ R&D Infrastructure – Research networks, pilot facilities, and testing centers to support innovation.

✅ Scaling Resources – Market insights, business networks, and facilities to help companies commercialize.

✅ Intellectual Property Protection – Ensuring innovative solutions are safeguarded in the EU.

✅ Product Authorization – Guidance on regulatory approvals for biotech products, from medicines to food ingredients.

✅ Compliance & Market Access – Clear explanations of EU rules for developing and marketing biotech innovations.

🔎 As the bio-based sector expands, tools like this are vital to ensuring that sustainable substitute and alternative materials contribute to a circular, sustainable economy.
