Welcome to the 6th Glycan Forum in Berlin
From Basic Research to Global Markets
Basic and applied science in the field of Glycomics have entered into a new phase. The significance of glycans as “the third biological language” is widely accepted, fundamental insights and discoveries pave the way for new products and innovative applications. We see an increasing range of public funding and political support. Today, the basic technologies and prototypes identified with the potential to have substantial societal benefits or a strong impact on the different markets, have reached an astounding diversity and complexity. The science of complex carbohydrates has developed into a strategic asset with the ability to influence and shape the value chains of important parts of future economies. It will certainly change the landscape in the health sector, to begin with. But we will also see an increasing influence on further developments in agriculture, energy & smart materials.
Therefor, the 6th Glycan Forum intends to intensify an inclusive and interdisciplinary networking, inviting an international blend of leading scientists, representatives from business & finance, regulatory bodies, politics and the media. Join us to witness in the emergence of a new industry.
