We created an ecosystem of R&D and businesses for the accelerated development of innovations. Despite the challenges we faced with Covid-19, we started 5 new research projects and participated in multiple EU funded projects. Our biomedical accelerator model has even won European acclaim in 2020, as a best practice within the framework of the Interreg project Medtech4 Europe.

To find alternatives for fossil-based products in the chemical industry, InSciTe contributes to the development of products and intermediates with a reduced environmental footprint. From biomass to C6 monomers, that is the promise of our new project BM2C6. John van der Schaaf and Randolph Hagenbeek reveal more.
