Program

09:50 - 10:00 Total Stream 1

Opening speech for the very first (virtual) International Conference on Biobased Surfactants by Dr. ir. Sofie Dobbelaere (Managing Director Flanders Biobased Valley).

10:00 - 12:00 Total Stream 1

As physical visits are currently not allowed, you can sit back and relax to enjoy four exciting virtual visits. We will start with a visit to the lovely city of Ghent and continue with visits to three cutting edge institutes in Flanders collaborating on the topic of biobased surfactants: Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant (Ghent), FLAMAC (Ghent) and Radius (Geel).

12:00 - 13:30 Be2Match

Take some time to indulge yourself with a delicious homemade lunch. Or, make that a ‘walking lunch’ and book short one-on-one meetings with the ICBS poster presenters via the B2MATCH platform. You can also book one-on-one meetings with your peers visiting the ICBS conference and/or with the oral presenters. You also get the chance to book B2B meetings with the Business Development teams of Bio Base Europe Pilot Plant, FLAMAC and Radius.

13:30 - 13:50 Total Stream 1

The ICBS conference is organized within the framework of the closing meeting of the exciting AppliSurf project screening the APPLIcation potential of a portfolio of novel types of glycolipid microbial bio-based SURFactants of which the exciting results will be explained to you by the AppliSurf Project Manager(s).

13:50 - 14:30 Total Stream 1

Dr. Zibek will enlighten us on her long lasting work with the intriguing glycolipid microbial biosurfactants mannosylerythritol lipids and cellobiose lipids which are expected to enter the market soon.

14:30 - 15:10 Total Stream 1

Prof. Rémond will showcase the opportunities of using enzymes towards the biocatalytic synthesis of glycolipid biobased surfactants.

15:10 - 15:30 Be2Match

Take some time to connect with your peers visiting the ICBS conference and/or with the oral and poster presenters. Book one-one meetings via the online meeting tool.

15:30 - 15:50 Total Stream 1

Many different types of microbial biosurfactants have been discovered over the past century and several types have made it to the market. Evonik pioneered on the European B2B market with glycolipid microbial biosurfactants sophorolipids which will be explained in the opening lecture, while other recent findings, processing methods and commercial opportunities will be covered in two parallel sessions. The session will be closed by a keynote lecture on promising approaches towards production of the lipopeptide microbial biosurfactant surfactin by Prof. Hausmann.

Welcome to the second conference day!

09:00 - 09:40 Total Stream 1

We kick off where we left off yesterday and learn about the use of lipopeptide microbial biosurfactants as biocontrol agents in agricultural applications.

09:40 - 10:20 Total Stream 1

Dr. Lin will explain us how we can make the production of microbial glycolipid biosurfactants more sustainable and circular. She will also present a commercial case study for the efficient conversion of Hong Kong food waste into sophorolipids.

10:20 - 10:40 BREAK
