Roundtable in biomanufacturing

Downstream processing steps in biomanufacturing accounts for up to the 60-70% of the total cost of the process. To make biosolutions more cost-competitive, DSP optimisation is key.

At our roundtable meetings we zoom in on the latest in DSP technology and discuss the desired output and content for an emerging recurring network.

At this meeting we will be visiting the biotech company Aquaporin - specialists in developing water purification membranes and technologies inspired by the natural water channels found in biological systems, particularly aquaporins. Their focus is on creating sustainable solutions for water purification and desalination processes in various industries, including water treatment, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food production (and even in the international space station).

About roundtables

During the roundtable meetings, there will be ample opportunity to exchange knowledge, gain inspiration and find new partners. The roundtables are preliminary meetings where we gauge the interest for a networking group with regular meetings. The group of participants help set the agenda and framework.
