Toulouse, with its rich R&D ecosystem and dense industrial fabric, is positioning itself as a centre of excellence for bioprocesses. This is the context for Biotech Alley \u2013 a unique corridor of innovation driven by three complementary players: TBI, TWB and CRITT Bio-Industries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

From research to proof of concept<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TBI \u2013 Toulouse Biotechnology Institute<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TBI embodies scientific excellence in the service of the bioeconomy. Upstream of academic research, the institute structures its expertise around key areas such as: enzyme engineering and molecular catalysis, microbial physiology and metabolism, microbial engineering, and sustainable chemical engineering. Thanks to its cutting-edge platforms, TBI transforms innovative ideas into robust proofs of concept, providing manufacturers with the scientific foundations necessary for the development of competitive bioprocesses.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

From proof of concept to industrial demonstration in the laboratory<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TWB \u2013 Toulouse White Biotechnology<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

TWB plays a unique catalytic role. This technology demonstrator aims to support, secure and accelerate the transition from idea to market, with technology platforms, integrated scientific expertise (strain engineering, process development, techno-economic studies) and a community of more than 400 scientists and industrial partners. TWB is the link between academic research and product development, ensuring the laboratory scale-up of innovations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Industrial scale-up and pre-production<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CRITT Bio-Industries<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

CRITT Bio-Industries is the key partner for the industrialisation of bioprocesses: liquid and solid fermentation control (from 10L to 300L), downstream purification processes, scale-up and pre-industrial validation, batch production and generation of the process book ready for industrial transfer. CRITT enables innovations from research to move to the pre-industrial stage in a secure manner and in compliance with market requirements.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
