Following the success of previous editions, hollandbio is organizing the fourth edition of Biotech for a Sustainable Future 2025 on Tuesday, September 16 (Prinsjesdag), 2025, in Woerden. This annual event has become the go-to meeting place for everyone working on a sustainable future in plants, food, and materials through biotech.

This year’s theme is ’Power to the partnership: alone we go fast, together we go far.’

Collaborations are key to turning biotech innovations into real-world impact. But what does it take to build a successful partnership? What can we learn from frontrunners who’ve cracked the code? During the afternoon, we’ll hand the mic to several biotech pioneers who are doing just that:

NoPalm Ingredients collaborates with various partners to develop sustainable alternatives to palm oil, primarily using fermentation technology to produce oils and fats from agricultural waste. Their approach not only reduces deforestation and emissions but also opens the door to circular, scalable production.

KeyGene will offer insights into the partnerships that help shape the future of agriculture, from root to result. As a global leader in crop innovation, KeyGene develops and applies breakthrough technologies in plant breeding, always in close collaboration with partners worldwide.

And as always, there will be plenty of networking opportunities.

More details on the program, including additional speakers, will follow soon, so stay tuned!
