About the project
The project focuses on tailor-made enzymes, extremozymes, able to function under extreme operating conditions required in the wood processing industry.
Impact of the project:
Providing high-value bio-equivalents of fossil-based chemicals to meet needs for bio-based products, especially in the building and furniture industries worldwide to replace fossil-based and even toxic chemicals.
Funding instrument BBI RIA l Circular Bio-based Europe (CBE)
Spinverse’s role
Spinverse funding experts from the bioeconomy team supported the Metgen consortium in preparing their successful project proposal.
We’ve made four EU funding applications together with Spinverse with a full 100% hit rate. Altogether, the funding we’ve received for these projects amounts to €12 million. Collaboration in the spirit of open innovation allows a company to play a much larger role in the industry than its size might let you believe. In this sense, as a company we’re like the enzymes we design: small but very powerful catalyst to speed up the reactions in the surrounding environment.
