In Denmark, Novo Nordisk Foundation reported that a new comprehensive initiative at the Technical University of Denmark aims to accelerate the development of biosolutions and strengthen the bio-based economy.
This new initiative at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) called the Novo Nordisk Foundation Biotechnology Research Institute for the Green Transition (BRIGHT), aims to create knowledge and solutions that can be transformed into efficient bioproduction, making a significant contribution to the green transition of society.
“BRIGHT will be a gathering point for academic and industrial partners working together to unlock the potential of bioproduction. It will help us develop scalable solutions that can significantly reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and expand Denmark‘s position within bio-based industry,” said Mads Krogsgaard Thomsen, CEO of the Novo Nordisk Foundation.
BRIGHT will focus on three main areas: sustainable materials, microbial foods, and microorganisms for net-zero agriculture The goal is to develop and scale innovative biosolutions within each of these areas, ultimately creating sustainable and competitive alternatives to fossil-based products.
