Session Description
How We Help Scale BioSolutions
From innovation to industrial impact: enabling BioSolutions at scale
How do promising BioSolutions move from laboratory breakthroughs to commercial reality? Drawing on more than three decades of experience in technology, innovation, and industrialisation, Marie Sandin will share insights on the critical role of industry in scaling sustainable solutions.
As a global leader in food processing and packaging, Tetra Pak works with customers, startups, researchers, and ecosystem partners to bring innovations to market at scale.

By combining local innovation strengths with global industrial reach, these ecosystems can accelerate the development and deployment of BioSolutions while driving economic growth, resilience, and long-term sustainability.
