Sustainable Bioproducts Innovation (SBI)

Sustainable Bioproducts Innovation (SBI) is a research group that acts as a bridge between industry and academia. Our systematic approach, combined with interdisciplinary collaboration and consolidated sustainability assessment methods, allows us to help researchers, innovators, and industry in accelerating the time it takes for bio-based products to go from early-stage lab studies to de-risked commercial products.
