Our mission
Biotechnology for a more sustainable planet
The world is at a critical juncture, struggling with unprecedented challenges that demand immediate attention. To overcome society's most pressing issues, we must embark on significant transformations in the way we produce our energy, chemicals and food.
At Planet B.io, we believe that biotechnology holds one of the keys to enabling these transformative changes. With modern biotechnological techniques, we can harness the power of microorganisms and leverage their remarkable adaptability. The potential applications are many, spanning from eco-friendly cosmetics and nutritious food to life-saving medicines and sustainable fuels.
While the potential of biotechnology is enormous, translating research into viable businesses is indispensable to make impactful changes in society. Planet B.io is committed to assisting entrepreneurs in achieving success by removing obstacles along their startup journey.
Delft: city of innovation
Delft has been one of the biotechnology 'hotspots' of the world for over 150 years. Visionaries like Anthony van Leeuwenhoek, who unveiled the first glimpses of microbial life, and industrial biotechnologist Jacques van Marken have left an inspiring mark on the legacy.
In 2019, DSM opened its doors to entrepreneurs active in bioscience and biotech, establishing Biotech Campus Delft. A year later, Planet B.io was founded to foster an environment of collaboration and innovation, attracting a diverse mix of organizations.
Today, the Planet B.io ecosystem includes world-class knowledge institutions, flourishing start-ups, mature scale-ups and established corporates with a global network. The Biotech Campus Delft is unique in how it provides accommodation and activities for companies in different stages of development.
