iotechnology is transforming how industries and
societies operate. Just about every sector is feeling the
efect. And in this special biotech edition, we take a
look at some of the areas where it is making an impact,
including fashion; food; and the UN Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs).
Professor Jean Peccoud, Abell Chair in Synthetic Biology at
Colorado State University, also shares his insight and advice on
the hot topic of cyberbiosecurity.
And I wholeheartedly agree with the organisers of the
triennial ACHEMA trade show - the world forum for the process
industries, in labelling Innovators Magazine the ‘perfect ft’ to
be the ofcial publishers of its ‘biotech for chemistry’ magazine.
Read more on the role the ‘biotech for chemistry’ theme will
play at ACHEMA 2018, which will welcome around 170,000
professionals to Frankfurt this summer.
As well as being sent to a targeted biotechnology audience
digitally, this magazine is being distributed to delegates
attending the fourth annual conference of Scotland’s
Industrial Biotechnology Innovation Centre (IBioIC) in
Glasgow. It is the third year we have been a media partner
with the conference, which has quickly established itself
as one of the most infuential in Europe. We have a special
feature section by IBioIC inside.
I am also happy to announce we are continuing our
collaboration with Newsquest International, on the annual
Global Game Changers awards. The
platform recognises and showcases
the achievements of cross-sectoral
innovators contributing to the SDGs.
It will be held in Glasgow later this
year, and then in London in 2019.
We’ll have more details on this on our
website within the next few weeks.
