GeneBEcon EU project

GeneBEcon is an ambitious Horizon Europe-funded project that will harness the innovation potential of gene editing to promote a sustainable bioeconomy in Europe. Through the application of this technology in potato and microalgae, GeneBEcon will promote energy-efficient, low-input, and zero-pollution agricultural production and clean industrial processing. GeneBEcon has a budget of 5.5 million Euros over three years. It started on 1 September 2022 and includes a multidisciplinary and multi-stakeholder consortium, including leading scientists from 11 European countries.
