Out of the Blue and into the Black: The Pursuit of Innovation and a visit to the DSM Biotechnology Center

Everything in One Place, Nothing in One Place

When you wander through the DSM Biotechnology Center, the toys glitter, but what sticks in the mind is the comprehensiveness of the approach. It’s all here. Applied biochemistry, genetics, integrated bioprocessing including multiple steps from bench-scale to pilot, and analytics.

But then, nothing is in one place. The customers are elsewhere, and there are a zillion partners that will be cooperating on genetics, chemistry, bioprocessing and analysis. The geographies, the sectors, the product set opportunities are expanding dramatically for every company And let’s not even think about space — and the products and services required for unlocking the value of the Moon.

Think this diagram.
