"To address globally relevant challenges, bio-based solutions will be an integral part of political, economic, and ecological strategies for a sustainable future. Innovations emerging from the convergence of biotech, deep science, and digitalisation will shape a world where humanity can significantly reduce the consumption of fossil materials, energy, water, and arable land. It will enable the closure of loops in a circular economy, establish sustainable food and feed systems, preserve vital biodiversity, and address the goals of the 2030 Agenda. Bio-solutions offer a powerful pathway to accelerate the transformation towards a more sustainable and greener future for industry, society, and biodiversity. Convinced of the enormous potential of bio-solutions, it is a pleasure to evolve with BioIntelligence, a bio-solution ecosystem combining the outstanding expertise of investors, scientists, funding entities, and entrepreneurs to support young founders on their specific paths to develop their ideas into fast-growing entities poised to become the next unicorn. As Chairwoman of the HTI BioIntelligence Steering Committee and BioDigit e.V., I am proud of the significant impact achieved in the short funding period, and I am confident that these improvements will strengthen and vitalise the bio-based entrepreneurial ecosystem."
