From advancing healthcare solutions to bio-based products in sectors such as chemicals, food, detergents, paper&amp;pulp and textiles, biotech holds transformative potential for scaling up Europe\u2019s industrial production and increasing prosperity. The EU is set to create an optimal environment to support its scale-up, ensuring this critical sector thrives for the benefit of our citizens and industries alike. The Hub is a practical tool that will support this.&#8221; &#8211; <strong>St\u00e9phane S\u00e9journ\u00e9, Executive Vice-President for Prosperity and Industrial Strategy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Biotechnology has a fundamental role in boosting the EU\u2019s competitiveness and embracing innovation and technology, shaping the future of European healthcare. Artificial intelligence can help us to transform biotechnology for the discovery and development of life-saving therapies, to better prevent and predict diseases, and to make personalised and patient-centred medicine a reality. The Commission is committed to unlocking the full potential of biotech and to helping this critical sector to grow for the benefit of our citizens and businesses.&#8221; &#8211; <strong>Oliv\u00e9r V\u00e1rhelyi, <strong>Commissioner for Health and Animal Welfare<\/strong>. <\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Background<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Biotech and Biomanufacturing Hub is a key deliverable of the Commission&#8217;s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/research-and-innovation.ec.europa.eu\/document\/download\/47554adc-dffc-411b-8cd6-b52417514cb3_en\">Strategy<\/a>to boost biotechnology and biomanufacturing in the EU.
