Braskem teams with French research center to develop new bio-solutions

In Brazil, Braskem announced a collaboration agreement with the prestigious European research center Toulouse White Biotechnology (TWB) for the development of renewable solutions. Specializing in scientific projects, the center will be an important partner for advancing new research and development routes based on natural resources, which will contribute to progress in sustainable, innovative solutions and economically viable for manufacturers and society as a whole.

The cooperation agreement with Braskem, the only Brazilian company among the more than 50 TWB partners, is valid for three years and encompasses the joint development of new renewable chemical technologies based on patents owned by both groups. Working under the orientation of research leaders at Braskem and TWB, nine researchers from the Laboratory of Systems Engineering and Biological Processes from the National Institute of Applied Sciences of Toulouse, identified by their work in this field, will use TWB’s advanced structure to leverage the results expected.
