The PEPR Bioproductions at the 2026 International Agricultural Show

The conference highlighted several priorities of the programme:

• Biomass is a strategic resource, provided that it is better understood and characterised through a combination of chemistry and advanced imaging tools.
• The optimisation of resources and processes relies on the development of high-performance scientific and digital tools.
• Genomic engineering and the study of microbial communities are essential for designing more efficient bioproduction systems.
• Understanding the interactions between yeasts and contaminants is crucial for optimising the production of second-generation bioethanol.

The programme management also reiterated that the PEPR Bioproductions programme is part of a broader national strategy aimed at positioning France as a European leader in biotechnology and the bioeconomy, in conjunction with the European biotechnology research infrastructure IBISBA.
