Biotechnology is a science that crosses many sectors and allows industry to produce in a greener way and by recycling materials. The Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre located in Scotland was created in 2014 with the aim of bringing together the world of industry with the academic and institutional sectors, in order to improve biotechnology and guarantee funds for research and development of new projects and start-ups. The centre has also developed the "National Plan for Industrial Biotechnology", which defines an increase in biotechnological processes in Scottish companies to contribute to achieving the Government's goal of zero emissions by 2045.
