Looking back at an inspiring Let's Talk B.io | Scale-Up Event

Yesterday, Planet B.io hosted the Let’s Talk Bio | Scale-Up Event, and what an incredible day it was!

Held at the beautiful and sunny TU Delft Hortus Botanicus, we brought together 4 key scale-up frontrunners, showcasing their expertise, equipment and how they can help businesses overcome the challenges of scaling biobased processes.

From turning grams into tonnes to navigating the "valley of death," our amazing speakers - Mickel Jansen (dsm-firmenich), Hendrik Waegeman (Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant), Martijn Bekker (Wageningen Food & Biobased Research), Menno Rus (Plant One Delft BV), and Robyn Eijlander (NIZO) - delivered valuable insights on making the leap from lab to commercial production.

It wasn’t just about the challenges though—it was also about celebrating the Dutch biotech ecosystem, as we marked hollandbio’s 10-year anniversary! Through the amazing networking opportunity and short talks of Cindy Gerhardt (Planet B.io) and Timen van Haaster (hollandbio) we celebrated the growth and strength of the Delft region as part of the (inter)national biotech ecosystem! 

A big thank you to everyone who made this event possible and to all who attended! We’re more inspired than ever to continue supporting the growth of biotech startups and the future of bio-innovation.
