Our world is changing at a rate and to an extent that is unprecedented. World population is growing and the consequences of climate change are already being felt. We will only have a liveable future if people, animals and the plant world live in harmony. This is why at Festo we consider the bioeconomy the economic system of the future. It is our aspiration to make a significant contribution to improving the quality of life of today's and future generations through the cultivation of biomass on a large scale using our automatic technology.
Essential parts of the biological transformation are digitalisation, artificial intelligence and quantum sensor technology. These methods can be used to optimise the data from bioreactors in a very short time. Only when the automated cultivation of biomass is reliable, economical and high-quality will bioproduction be marketable on a large scale and be able to achieve the desired environmental results. We are working on this in cooperation with other companies and institutes.
