SUMMARY:Study Visit and Scale-Up Workshop @ VTT Bioruukki\, Finland
DESCRIPTION:Aim of the study visit and workshop:\nBioruukki is one of Europe’s largest open access pilot facilities for new bio-based products and circular economy solutions\, with a unique combination of pilot-scale process development units and R&D services. Welcome to discover what scale-up is and looks like. This visit is part of the “Scale -up & Growth” programme offered by the “Pilots4U powered by COPILOT” project\, it organised back-to-back with ChemBio. \n\n						\n								\n								  Visit the VTT Bioruukki websiteAgenda\n13:00–13:05 — Opening Remarks \n13:05–13:30 — Keynote: Accelerating scale-up of process technologies with open access pilot facilities\, Mika Härkönen\, VTT \n13:30-13:45 — Pilots4U powered by COPILOT – next generation platform of bioeconomy pilot and demo infrastructures\, Pauliina Tukiainen\, VTT \n13:45–14:55 — Scale-up success stories by IBC Finland members \n13:45–14:55 — Scale-up success stories by IBC Finland members \n\nScaling Precision Fermentation from Lab to Industrial Reality – Arni Kujala\, Onego Bio\nFrom Waste to Value – Lari Vähäsalo\, CH-Bioforce\nA New Wave in Wastewater Treatment: The Scale-Up Story of KemAlpha – Oskari Larkimo\, Kemira\nProcess Development and Scale-Up at AB Enzymes – Bas Romein\, AB Enzymes\nFood Protein Production from Electricity and CO2 – Juha-Pekka Pitkänen\, Solar Foods\n\n14:55–15:00 — Open Q&A \n15:15 – 17:30— Visit to VTT Bioruukki Pilot Centre\, (including bus transportation back and forth Messukeskus)  \nRegistration & Practical Information\nTarget audience\nAll bioeconomy stakeholders\, where possible with a focus on BioInnovators (Technology Owners). \nRegistration\nThe VTT scale up seminar will be organized as part of the ChemBio event. Participation to Chembio is free\, but registration is required and can be done using the following link: https://visit.messukeskus.com/registration/Registration/Login?id=642-26130-2267 \nSeparate registration to Bioruukki study visit is mandatory. There are limited number of places available. Please register use the link below by 31.3.2026. \nREGISTERMore information &  Accommodation\nTherefore a shuttle bus will depart from Messukeskus at 15:15 sharp on April 16th and will be back at Messukeskus around 17:30. \nPlease\, contact: Pauliina Tukiainen\, pauliina.tukiainen@vtt.fi \nSatellite events The ProteInn Club Industrial Sounding Board Meeting\nThe ProteInn Club is a collaboration between Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant\, Ghent University\, the Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture\, Fisheries\, and Food (ILVO)\, and CAPTURE. The club’s ambition is to facilitate innovations and accelerate the development of a unique fermentation-based protein ecosystem. Members of the Industrial Sounding Board are positioned at various points within the value chain of fermentation-based proteins. On the one hand\, there are companies developing fermentation processes\, while on the other\, there are companies producing side streams that can be used as feedstock for these processes\, and companies interested in incorporating fermentation-based proteins into their end products. The overall goals of the club are to connect the partners along this value chain\, foster the developing ecosystem\, and raise awareness about fermentation-derived proteins. During this event\, the core team of The ProteInn Club will link up with the full Industrial Sounding Board to discuss the latest developments in the fermentation-based protein landscape. Topics can include updates on ongoing projects\, interesting upcoming funding calls\, policy briefs\, and the presentation of new ProteInn Club members. This is a private event. Attendance by invitation only. \nSatellite events Seeing is believing: Study Visit to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant\nHop on the shuttle bus to the Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant and discover what scale-up is and looks like!
