Our three research missions
Sustainable Materials
Microbial Foods
Net-Zero Agriculture
These three main missions comprise the focus of BRIGHT’s research, innovation, talent development, and education activities.
Groundbreaking biotech research and developing cutting-edge technology is at the core of BRIGHT. We work across the entire value chain - starting our research in the lab and following it to large-scale industrial production for measurable impact.
The aim is to develop scalable solutions and bring them to market in collaboration with industry in each of these areas, creating competitive alternatives to fossil-based products and processes.
