  • Upgrading operations facilities in China for future growth 🌱 Recently, we officially opened new buildings and a quality control lab across sites in Tianjin (TEDA) and Taicang, where we also marked a 30-year anniversary milestone. 🥳 The inaugurations were attended by our COO Anders Lund as well as many colleagues, local authorities and partners, including Ambassador Michael Starbæk Christensen and Consul General Jens Alsbirk. The new facilities represent continued investments in capabilities supporting future growth and strengthening our global production footprint as the demand for biosolutions continues to increase.  Thank you to all colleagues involved as well as the local authorities and partners who continue to support our development in China and the region. #biosolutions #operations #novonesis

  • What impact will biosolutions have on our economy and society? 🌱 Capgemini Invent recently interviewed Andrew Taylor, EVP of Food & Beverage Biosolutions, on how biosolutions are shaping the next phase of sustainable growth. He shares his perspective in their video that you can watch below.🙌 "I think we're going to see tremendous growth in the bioeconomy over the next five years. Most estimates suggest there could be greater than €800 million in economic value creation plus an additional 5 million jobs. More importantly, we should be creating a society with better impact for our consumers, more sustainable solutions and better solutions across the value chain," he says. For more insights into the value of biosolutions, find new reports on the biosolutions sector across different markets here: https://lnkd.in/d-Hyh4vc Capgemini also contributed to this World Economic Forum report on accelerating the tech-driven bioeconomy: https://lnkd.in/d9dEnpQf #biosolutions #bioeconomy #growth #jobs #sustainability 

  • Committed to supporting and building environments where every person is safe and free ❤️ Last week, our colleague Sara Lynge Skovhede, Global DEI Lead, joined a panel discussion at the 13th European IDAHOT+ Forum 2026 in Copenhagen, co-hosted by the Danish Government, the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Council of Europe. "The testimonials from across Europe made a strong impression. They show how easy it is to take access and wellbeing for granted. Inclusion will not happen by itself, it requires commitment across communities and markets, to remove structural barriers and create better access to the labour market and more inclusive workplaces," she said. Across Europe, countries, organizations, and individuals are coming together around a shared ambition: That everyone can feel safe, be themselves, and have equal opportunities to live and to contribute at work. 🙏 At Novonesis, we value being a part of these conversations, continuing a collective effort to build inclusive environments across borders. #biosolutions #careerthatmatters #diversity #inclusion

  • Southeast Asia has everything it needs to fuel and feed its own future, and biosolutions can help the region move forward. 🌱     Instead of relying on imported oil and gas, biosolutions use what's already around us, such as plants, crop leftovers, and agricultural waste. This makes it possible to power the region from within. 🙌   Our Regional President Lensey Chen explains more in the video clip. "Southeast Asia can turn its vast agricultural wealth into lasting energy independence, economic value, and a stronger competitive position for generations to come," she says.    Learn more about how biosolutions can help Southeast Asia move forward:  https://lnkd.in/dC-Sxztr #biosolutions #bioenergy #energysecurity #SoutheastAsia

  • Cultural diversity: One of the strengths of Novonesis   Today is the World Day for Cultural Diversity, and we're sharing how this helps drive the way we innovate our biosolutions and the way we engage with customers.❤️   At Novonesis, our 11,000 colleagues are comprised by 105 nationalities represented across sites in 47 countries around the world. By embracing the full range of perspectives our people bring, and by building bridges across our cultures, we're able to foster better ideas and deliver stronger solutions. 🌱   Claus Crone Fuglsang, Chief Science Officer, shares his thoughts from a research and development perspective: "Cultural diversity is a major asset for our innovation capabilities. It allows us to approach innovation processes from a broad range of perspectives, reflecting the unique experiences and backgrounds our colleagues bring. It sparks new ideas, not only for innovation itself, but also for how we get there."   It also makes a difference for interacting with customers around the world: "Every time you interact with a customer, you need to keep their cultural background in mind. Having regional teams with local knowledge of culture and ways of working is important when partnering with customers on a global scale," says Hilde Coumou, Senior Sales Development Manager.   #biosolutions #culturaldiversity #careerthatmatters #novonesis

  • Novonesis featured in Danish radio show focusing on biosolutions 🙌 Yesterday, Chief Science Officer Claus Crone Fuglsang was the guest on a live radio show by DR - Danmarks Radio. He explained what enzymes and microbes are, and how the power of biology can bring sustainable solutions to some of the major problems the world is facing today. 🌱 After the appearance, he shared his thoughts:  "In Novonesis, business and sustainability go hand in hand: While our biosolutions are driving decarbonization, revitalizing nature, enabling healthy lives and transforming food systems, we delivered 7% growth in 2025, and we expect to deliver 6-9% growth year-on-year towards 2030. Denmark has everything it takes to create conditions for more businesses to deliver, and we are excited to resume the collaboration with the coming Danish government to fulfill the promise of biosolutions," he said.

  • "Ask microbes, and they will never betray you." This quote by Japanese microbiologist Sakaguchi Kin'Ichiro was part of our colleague David Zilber's keynote presentation last week in Brussels, Belgium, at the European High-Level Conference on Biosolutions. In front of policy makers and business leaders, he shared his perspective on the impact of fermentation and biology on today's food systems.🙌 Thank you to the European Biosolutions Coalition for arranging this conference and bringing leaders and bright minds together for an inspiring and impactful day, a timely gathering ahead of the anticipated Biotech Act II. One clear takeaway from the conference was that biosolutions must play a central role in Europe’s competitiveness, resilience, and sustainability going forward. At Novonesis, we welcome the growing political momentum behind the upcoming Biotech Act II. We need to ensure the right framework to unlock impact at scale. Biosolutions are not a future vision. They are already here. Now it is time to scale them.🌱 #biosolutions #bioeconomy #growth #sustainability

  • Showcasing biosolutions for the future of health and nutrition   Last week, our colleagues from the Human Health Biosolutions team were in Barcelona, Spain for the Vitafoods Europe 2026 conference. Visitors at the Novonesis booth had the chance to try our samples or talk to our experts for the latest microbiome science and biosolutions addressing these issues. They could also explore our virtual reality experience BioLens, focusing on the latest science on the gut-brain axis and psychobiotics. The conference had 30,000+ visitors who were gathering to explore the future of health and nutrition. Thank you to everyone stopping by the Novonesis booth!
