Digital technologies are transforming biotechnology. Artificial intelligence, data-driven methods, modeling and simulation are accelerating research and development, making biological processes more predictable and opening up entirely new avenues for innovation. Digital twins, multiscale models and AI-enabled analytics support the discovery and development of active ingredients, streamline production processes and generate new insights from complex biological data. To this end, Fraunhofer combines expertise in biology, computer science, mathematics and engineering. The goal is to gain a deeper understanding of biological systems, shorten development timelines and transfer new technologies into industrial application more quickly. This makes digital biotechnology a key driver of innovation that strengthens competitiveness and technological sovereignty.
