Presentation of the partnership between the faculty of Biotechnology and Biorbis

The event to present the recent collaboration between the Faculty of Biotechnology of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa and the international company BIORBIS, which has chosen Portugal to carry out its research and innovation investment in Europe, will take place on November 20 at 11 am. Biorbis is majority-owned by Guatemala's leading sugar cane producer and Latin America's top 5 sugar producers - IMSA - Ingenio Magdalena.

This program expects an initial private investment of 3 million, with a potential increase of 23 million over the next 5 years, in the research and innovation project that seeks to develop the next generation of safe, sustainable, and high-value biomolecules.
