The German Biotechnology Days 2025 in Heidelberg turned into a particularly memorable event for Sweethoven Biotech: our research and transfer project received both the Innovation Award of the German BioRegions and the Audience Award in the session “New Kids on the Block in Industrial Biotech”.
During the two-day event, we presented our work on sweet dietary-fiber candidates and the progress made in scaling the underlying biotechnological process. Thanks to the ongoing DATIpilot project, we were also able to present a batch of our candidate material to Heidelberg and the conference visitors. The event led to many valuable conversations with researchers, biotechnology experts and representatives from industry about the scientific approach and possible future application contexts.
Receiving the Innovation Award 2025 of the German BioRegions, endowed with €2,000, was a strong recognition of the transfer potential of our research. We were equally delighted to receive the Audience Award with 55% of the votes, making the event an encouraging milestone for the continued development of Sweethoven Biotech.
