Biotechnology

Fraunhofer makes biotechnology a key technology for health, sustainability and industrial value creation. Green biotechnology draws on plants and microorganisms for sustainable nutrition, agriculture and the bioeconomy. In red biotechnology, Fraunhofer is developing new active ingredients, diagnostics and treatments for medicine. This is complemented by white biotechnology with the development of energy and resource‑efficient bio-based production processes for industry and the environment. Fraunhofer draws on synergy effects in activities in these areas to provide a comprehensive research and service offering, from molecules to products and from the laboratory to the production plant.
