These advantages are more applicable to
established, complex value chain ecosystems
that are incorporating sustainable inputs or
processes; bio-innovation isn’t just for start-ups and
therapeutics, it is poised to become the backbone
of industrial production.
For bio-improved, bio-superior or bio-disruptive
products in particular, achieving commercial
viability can be more difficult due to higher upfront
costs and scaling challenges. Bio-innovation can
no longer rely on green premiums, and must be
competitively priced, implying that production
system approaches must be cost effective. Given
the unique nature of these solutions, value chains and ecosystems must be positioned for adaptation,
transformation or even complete creation through
innovative production system approaches (such as
decentralized production) to address demand with
viable commercial models.
In both cases, production system value is key
to balancing the commercial viability equation.
Commercial bio-innovation provides opportunities
for businesses to become more resilient, flexible
and versatile in how they source and operate; and
to focus on reducing supply chain risk and lowering
costs across the value chain. The time is now to
reimagine how products and services are grown,
sourced, processed, produced and delivered.Bio-innovation isn’t
just for start-ups and
therapeutics, it is
poised to become the
backbone of industrial
production.
