The Swiss Industrial Biocatalysis Consortium (SIBC) turns 20!
In 2024, the Swiss Industrial Biocatalysis Consortium (SIBC), celebrated its 20 years of bringing together experts from the pharma, flavor and fragrance, fine chemicals, and agrochemicals industries to discuss enzyme technology developments. In this perspective, we share recent examples of how our member organizations utilize biocatalysis in their respective industries. While the motivations for employing enzymatic synthesis and the end goals of various production processes may vary, we aim to emphasize the shared aspects that we are coming across. Over the past 20 years, those synergies have provided us with a fruitful basis for pre-competitive knowledge sharing around biocatalysis as a technology. We look forward to many more years of the SIBC and the surprises that await us through the potential of our enzymes.
