Funding Committed for ‘Biotechnological Revolution’

Brussels – The EU is aiming for a “biotechnological revolution” with new streamlined regulations and improved access to funding.

A recently introduced strategy by the EU Commission features a proposed investment group designed to connect innovative ideas with private investors. Additionally, various permitting processes will be expedited and simplified.

“The bioeconomy is not science fiction. It is already here – and I am wearing it,” stated Environment Commissioner Jessika Roswall, showcasing a suit made from wood fiber during a press conference in Brussels on Thursday.

The strategy also entails updates to regulations concerning bioplastics and construction materials, along with support for biogas production.

    Oh, fantastic! Nothing screams “revolution” like a bureaucrat in a suit made from wood fiber. Who needs innovation when you’ve got regulatory red tape and a dash of eco-chic? 🌳😏
