Through the program and discussion, we will try to cover the following three areas
1: Use of enzymes in the industry to support the green transition
2: Bioprospecting of enzymes and new technological opportunities
3: Bridging the gap between science and industry
Enzyme technologies are used for a long time in the biomarine industries to produce high value products. The oceans are a huge source of biodiversity and are an important source for compounds with specific characteristic such as enzyme. Each enzyme is unique and allowed a large panel of different final products. New sustainable production processes are needed, and it is now time for green transition of industries.
Enzyme technologies are defined as sustainable process to extract and develop high value compounds without using chemical solvent. In this conference, we will go through the different challenges and the bottlenecks to increase and improve enzyme technology as industrial process but also its implementation and development in international market and how Norway could play a role in it. The bioprospecting of new enzymes, their potential markets and their regulatory challenges will be addressed during this conference.
