Industrial biotechnology is undergoing an exciting transition, from the current reliance on fossil resources like crude oil and natural gas, to a bio-economy based on renewable biomass from agriculture, forestry and agro-industrial waste streams. 10-Year Forecast of Disruptive Technologies expertly identifies and analyses the top 25 disruptive technologies that are expected to have a significant impact on industrial biotechnology to 2021. This brand new report outlines crucial business opportunities created by these technology developments, keeping you one step ahead of the competition.
Methodology
10-Year Forecast of Disruptive Technologies in Industrial Biotechnology is based on extensive primary and secondary research. Primary research consisted of rankings and ratings given by an expert panel of 15 people, including leading scientists, investors,innovators or business leaders in the field of industrial biotechnology. Secondary research was based on a comprehensive review of journals, books, intelligence reports, presentations, press releases and electronic databases, plus studies conducted by the European Commission, the OECD, the US Department of Agriculture, the US Department of Energy and the International Energy Agency, etc.
