BEACON 3rd Annual Conference

From plants to products

Recent years have been a significant time for biorefining in Wales. Having been identified as a key growth area and winning the Regio Stars award 2014, the BEACON project was launched to promote and facilitate collaboration between academia and industry, drive innovation, and support companies that bring biotechnology closer to industrialisation.

Topics include:

• Integrated Supply Chains
• Natural Product Biotechnology
• Funding Opportunities
• Flash Presentations from Delegates

This FREE conference will appeal to industry professionals, start-up companies, SME’s and larger corporations, as well as academic scientists and researchers interested in biotechnology, waste valorisation and a low carbon economy. The event provides a unique environment for industry and academia to network, share knowledge and establish research collaborations.

This conference provides a unique opportunity to bring together industry and science to highlight the scope of opportunities that exist to maximise value from waste streams and derive multiple high value by-products, for a wide range of commercial applications.
