What they argued
EIT Food welcomes the call for evidence for an impact assessment on biotechnology to improve the size and competitiveness of this strategic sector in the EU while maintaining high safety standards. EIT Food emphasizes the need for the Commission to adopt a comprehensive approach to biotechnology, as both biotechnology and biomanufacturing offer significant opportunities.
EIT Food welcomes this call for evidence supporting a thorough impact assessment, recognising that a strong innovation ecosystem is a cornerstone of a sustainable and competitive bioeconomy, driving innovation, economic growth, and environmental benefits.
EIT Food welcomes the upcoming publication of the European Innovation Act. We commend the Commissions work to overhaul the EUs R&I legislative alongside the 2028-34 Horizon Europe framework programme, to ensure that Europe remains at the forefront of global innovation, both in terms of research and practical application.
EIT Food welcomes the European Unions action plan for women in research, innovation, and startups, which aligns with President von der Leyens message in her 2025 State of the Union speech. EIT Food supports building a European Research Area where researchers and knowledge flow freely across the EU, including efforts to address the low participation of women in these fields.
EIT Food welcomes the forthcoming publication of the European Research Area (ERA) Act. EIT Food commends the Commissions work to overhaul the EUs R&I legislative framework to ensure Europe remains at the forefront in global innovation, both in terms of research and practical application.
