Trainings
As part of TransBIB, we present comprehensive training material that addresses both beginners and experts. Our approach combines scientific principles with practical content to make the challenges and opportunities of the industrial bioeconomy tangible. After our industry workshops, the materials will be available to a wide audience here - ideal for anyone who wants to deepen their knowledge or reorient themselves.
The training materials on offer are constantly being expanded and adapted.
The Bioeconomy in a Nutshell
The Bioeconomy – Explained Simply
What does the bioeconomy mean, and which sectors are affected? This film provides a concise introduction to the biologisation of industries and shows how biological principles are increasingly being integrated into economic processes. It highlights both the opportunities and the challenges of this transformation – in a clear and practical way.

Biotechnology & Biomanufacturing
What opportunities for value creation do modern biotechnology methods offer us? Using everyday examples and use cases, we will introduce you to fermentation, protein engineering and the potential of biological adhesion mediators.
The bioeconomy in the plastics industry
From bioplastics to modified biomass: we provide a concise overview of the different types of bio-based polymers, as well as their properties and applications. We also examine the issue of degradability, as well as processing conditions.
Fibre-reinforced plastics
Composite materials made from fibres and a polymer matrix combine high mechanical strength with low material weight. We outline the potential for using bio-based and renewable fibres as an alternative to glass or carbon fibres, which are produced using energy-intensive processes.
The bioeconomy in the construction sector
Natural materials for greater sustainability and energy savings: We highlight the importance of a shift in thinking within the construction industry and showcase examples of materials and technologies. The content ranges from the use of organic insulation materials to cutting-edge technologies.
The bioeconomy in the automotive industry
Renewable raw materials in foams, rubber and textiles offer the potential to transform the automotive industry. We provide an overview of innovative approaches to bio-based solutions in the automotive sector, ranging from microalgae as raw material producers to rice husks in car tyres.
