Unlocking the promise of biomanufacturing by transforming the economics of production with our patented FAST bioreactor

DAB is a leading expert in Separation Technology of oil based fermentation. Our unique and patented FAST technology (Fermentation Accelerated by Separation Technology) enables continuous fermentation to offer unit cost reductions of 30% or more. By continuously removing product or inhibitors from the fermentation process, FAST extends the run time and increases unit production. FAST has become one the most significant fermentation innovations of the past decade. This technology can easily be implemented in new and existing installations, allowing for rapid application.
The global focus on synthetic biology has delivered several breakthrough routes to replace fossil-based chemicals with sustainable bio-based alternatives. High manufacturing costs currently hamper the large-scale manufacturing of many of these alternatives. FAST addresses this issue head-on. It is the largest contributor to lowering manufacturing costs, thereby facilitating large-scale deployment of many bio-based chemicals.
DAB has a highly skilled workforce and is supported by driven and capable investors.

Supporting innovation through Kansen voor West vouchers
Over the past year, Planet B.io has supported a diverse group of innovative companies through the Kansen voor West vouchers. These vouchers are designed to help entrepreneurs take the next step in developing and scaling sustainable bio-based and food innovations by providing targeted support for advisory services, process optimisation, and establishment.
One year later: Insights from Scale-up frontrunners | Stef Denayer, Pilots4U
It’s been a year since Planet B.io’s Let’s Talk Bio Scale-Up event brought together leading scale-up experts, and the journey continues. We sat down with Stef Denayer, Stakeholder Relations Manager at Pilots4U, to explore how the platform has been renewed, what it now offers innovators across Europe, and how it helps connect them with open-access pilot and demo facilities to accelerate their path from idea to market. From a rebuilt digital platform to on-site study visits and travel vouchers for pilot plant engagement, discover the latest developments in Europe’s infrastructure for scaling biobased innovation.
How Dutch Vocational Students Strengthen Industrial Biotechnology
Finding the right talent is a common challenge for biotech start-ups and scale-ups. While researchers are essential, hands-on laboratory technicians often make the real difference in day-to-day lab work. In this article, Rianne Veldt-Meijer from MBO Rijnland explains how MBO students gain research experience, where they add value for biotech companies, and why they may be the practical edge your lab needs.
