The objective is to create new approaches and solutions for automation and the transformation towards a circular economy. Economists have been predicting the end of linear growth for some time. Further development towards a circular economy is the next big goal, as it offers new growth potential. And nature is an excellent role model in this regard, because it knows no waste. For Festo, integrating biology as a basis for ongoing development in automation is particularly promising. It can be used to make a biological cell into the smallest factory of the future. Tests with algae as small climate saviours are already yielding extremely promising results.
"CO2absorption using algae and technology from Festo. In 2022, people were really fascinated by our bioreactor. In this TechTalk, I'll show you for the first time how we developed it."
