Learn about the latest innovations in the bioeconomy sector; agricultural biomass
We will be participating in the "Entrepreneurship and innovation for the recovery of agricultural biomass" summer course, organised by Almeria University from 9th to 11th July at the Cajamar Culture Centre - Casa de las Mariposas; Experimental Station "Las Palmerillas".
Over several days, this course will cover all aspects related to entrepreneurship in companies in the bio sector, with the aim of awakening entrepreneurial interest through developments and innovations in the bioeconomy sector.
The course speakers include our colleague, Thomas Dietrich, researcher at Health and Healthy Eating, expert in bioprocesses and recovery of biomass rich in fibre to explore its potential use in the manufacture of nutritional supplements. His presentation will be on "From idea to business. Recovery of biomass fibre".
