TU Delft
Impact for a better society
Delft University of Technology is the oldest and largest technical university in the Netherlands. The university ranks among the world’s best in the fields of science and engineering, including biotechnology.
Innovation is crucial to fulfil the potential of industrial biotechnology for sustainable production of fuels, chemicals, materials, and food. Similarly, scientific and technological advances in environmental biotechnology are needed to enable novel approaches to water purification, and ‘waste-to-product’ processes thus contributing to a circular economy. Increased fundamental knowledge encompassing enzymes, microorganisms and processes are essential for progress in this field. Delft University of Technology covers this research area and, based on new insights, selects, designs and tests new biobased catalysts, micro-organisms, and processes.
To make the required leap from science to environmental impact, knowledge should be developed together with the business community. The Delft University of Technology, world renown for the many major discoveries in microbiology and biotechnology still impacting the world today, is actively collaborating with DSM to successfully develop the Biotech Campus Delft. By joining forces with Planet B.io, start-ups evolving from the Delft University of Technology, or from anywhere else in the world, find an inspiring home at the Biotech Campus that offers the knowhow and network needed to speed up their business.

Plant One new owner of Bioprocess Pilot Facility at Biotech Campus Delft
Plant One, an established pilot plant company specialized in sustainable production processes, will be the new owner of the Bioprocess Pilot Facility at Biotech Campus Delft. Plant One will further develop the current bioprocess facility into a full-service pilot plant for companies active in biobased and/or biotechnology processes, from SME's to multinationals. The deal was signed at the Biotech Campus Delft earlier today.
Paques Biomaterials | Natural alternatives to plastic
Plastic is everywhere and from its production to its disposal, plastic has a huge impact on our planet. In nature, plastics break down into small particles called microplastics, which accumulate in the food chain. Planet B.io’s resident Paques Biomaterials uses a variety of residual streams to create a biobased and biodegradable alternative to plastic: Caleyda®.
Vivici: Revolutionizing Dairy Protein Production for a Sustainable Future
In a world dealing with the environmental impact of traditional animal agriculture, B2B ingredients company Vivici is dedicated to transforming the landscape of dairy protein production. The Planet B.io resident, driven by a mission for planet-friendly nutrition, uses precision fermentation to create superior dairy proteins, specifically focusing on the whey complex.
