Biomanufacturing systems work but scale-up is where the real test begins. As precision fermentation moves beyond pilots to commercialisation, Europe faces a decisive moment: can it build the infrastructure, capital models, and market pathways needed to compete globally? What is actually holding scale back - and what needs to shift now to ensure Europe stays at the forefront of next‑gen ingredient production? Will policy interventions like the EU Biotech Act meaningfully tilt investment and scale-up in Europe’s favour?
