Ensuring a sustainable supply of protein is the basis for innovations based on research activities in the materials science field and the development of new technologies for raw materials processing. The Protein Technology research platform combines these skills.

When the Bio-Economy division was founded in 2012, it was accompanied by an extensive realignment and expansion of the research platforms. Since the realignment the DIL focuses on development in the fields of Petfood, Feed and Meat Technology. Together, these three areas comprise the Protein Technology research division.

These newly created capacities are the key to an integrated approach to global problems in the area of Bio-Economy.
