The German Pavilion at this year's Expo in Osaka, Japan, is dedicated to the circular economy. As part of the Circular Fashion exhibit in the German Pavilion, Fraunhofer IGB has incorporated its development of bio-based water-repellent coatings. The water-repellent properties of textiles are achieved by coating them with the natural raw material chitosan, which is obtained from waste streams in the food industry.

We are pleased to welcome you to our seminar series “Virus-based therapies – from engineering to process development” at the Virus-based therapies branch of the Fraunhofer IGB in Biberach. Starting in May 2025, we will offer monthly seminars on various aspects of virus-based therapies. It is our pleasure to have renowned experts share their insights into the various aspects of virus-based therapies.

In the evolving landscape of sustainable food production, algal biotechnology emerges as a potential game-changer. As global demand for eco-friendly and nutrient-rich sources rises, algal biotechnology offers innovative solutions for food, feed, and nutraceuticals. The course provide introductory training and theory in algal biology, culturing, growth and biotechnology from laboratory to small scale facilities. The course are organized by the Scottish Association for Marine Science (SAMS, UK) in collaboration with the Fraunhofer IGB (Germany) and Matis (Iceland).

Biointelligence Summit 2025: Explore biointelligent manufacturing, automated bioproduction, personalized health and New Food innovations. Connect with industry leaders shaping the future of life sciences and biotechnology.

At the joint Fraunhofer booth, Fraunhofer IGB will be showing representative bio-based polymer building blocks and polymers that have been produced using bio-inspired technologies from biogenic residues and raw materials. We would like to develop these further with interested corporate partners in order to close an important gap in the market and establish the new materials. We look forward to seeing you in Hall 7.0, booth SC05.
