TWB invested almost €2.5 million in equipment to diversify its services, acquire news functionalities and boost the performance of its platforms.

Diversyfying into new markets

TWB has capitalised on its expertise to branch out into another field of application : ingredients, where industrial biotechnologies provide a solution to the market’s needs and challenges. This expansion was achieved through two new consortium members : Lyon-based Bon Vivant and the Canadian industrial group Premier Tech. In addition, the Toulouse Industrial Biotechnology for Health (TIBH) industrial integrator had its certification renewed for five years as part of the ANR Biotherapeutics-Bioproduction Integrators call for proposals process.
