Functional Proteins – Opportunities for Food, Agriculture, and Biotech

Fraunhofer IZI-BB cordially invites companies from the biotechnology, food, and agricultural sectors - particularly SMEs and startups - to attend the Technology Day titled »Functional Proteins – Opportunities for Food, Agriculture, and Biotech« on February 25, 2027, at the Potsdam Science Park.

Whether as enzymes for food and industrial processes, as tools for diagnostics and agriculture, or as therapeutic agents, functional proteins open up new possibilities for products and processes. At the same time, their production, characterization, and optimization remain technologically challenging. What are the biggest hurdles, and what solutions is research offering?

At the Technology Day, we bring together different industry perspectives. Companies provide insights into current developments, specific applications, and practical challenges they face. Researchers from Fraunhofer IZI-BB demonstrate how technologies for protein expression, functional characterization, and data-driven development can accelerate the journey from idea to usable protein.

Here’s what you can expect:

  • Insights from the industry: Companies will provide insights into current developments, challenges, and new applications of functional proteins
  • Technologies and solutions: Researchers from Fraunhofer IZI-BB will present technological approaches for the production, characterization, and application of functional proteins and demonstrate their potential in areas such as drug discovery, diagnostic testing, and medical technology developments.
  • Networking: Engage in conversation with companies and researchers and make new connections.

Join us in discussing what technological solutions the industry will need in the future!
