❗📢The Netherlands is at risk of losing its "Champions League" status in food production and technology.🏆 While we've been leaders, countries like the US, UK, Israel, Germany, and France are making strategic bets on breakthrough technologies, particularly in biotech. 🔬 🙏 Thankfully, there's a silver lining. Micky Adriaansens, minister of economic affairs and climate, recognizing biotechnology in its National Technology Strategy, is starting to see its potential. But this is just the beginning. As I lead NoPalm Ingredients in pioneering sustainable biotech solutions, I believe we need more than recognition - we need decisive action.Here's what we propose:1.Build strong collaborations across sectors.2.Streamline regulations to ease biotech innovations.3.Invest in STEM and specialized biotech training.4.Provide financial support to scale technologies effectively.5.Increase public engagement in biotech.6.Develop shared facilities infrastructure for advanced R&D.The Netherlands must seize this opportunity to lead in biotech, combining innovation with sustainability for a better future. Join me in this vital discussion.Read more about our vision and necessary steps for biotech advancement in our latest blog post ⬇️https://lnkd.in/dZSqpWDs#Biotechnology #Pioneering #NoPalmIngredients

To all my food-related start-up friends: Kelly is a real rockstar you should consider hiring! I had the pleasure to work with her back in my consulting days and she's goes the extra mile!🚀 Unfortunately we don't have a role available for her at NoPalm Ingredients otherwise I would have hired her in a heartbeat. Let me know if you want me to connect you to Kelly or feel free to approach her directly. You won't regret you did.

Wie is er in Nederland niet met Het Klokhuis opgegroeid of heeft het met z’n kinderen gekeken? Bij ons thuis was het in ieder geval vaste prik.📆 Morgen (Woensdag) 8 November op NPO3 van 18:40-18:55 heb ik de eer om NoPalm Ingredients te vertegenwoordigen. In deze aflevering leg ik aan de jonge kijkers uit hoe we van reststromen uit de voedselindustrie, olie kunnen maken! Mis 'm niet! 🎬🍿

🌍🔥💚 EARTH OVERSHOOT DAY: A Call to Action for Climate, Biodiversity, and Equality 💚🔥🌍As we commemorate Earth Overshoot Day today, I cannot help but reflect on the profound impact of our actions on the planet and its delicate ecosystems. In my lifetime, I have witnessed a troubling shift - from Earth Overshoot Day occurring on November 5th to the alarming reality that it falls on August 2nd this year. It's a stark reminder of the urgency of the three crises we face as a society: the Climate Crisis, Biodiversity Crisis, and Inequality Crisis. 🌎💔The Climate Crisis poses an existential threat to humanity, with extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and unprecedented wildfires becoming more frequent and severe. The Biodiversity Crisis threatens the delicate balance of life on Earth, leading to the extinction of countless species and disruptions in ecosystems. And the Inequality Crisis deepens the divides within our global community, leaving vulnerable populations disproportionately affected by environmental degradation. 🦋🌱🌏Don't underestimate your impact. Every vote and purchase creates ripples beyond ourselves. Ballots shape government actions on the Climate Crisis and environmental policies. Consumer choices send powerful signals to businesses, guiding sustainable practices. Embrace your collective power for positive change and a brighter future. Even small actions contribute to transformative results. Realize your potential and wield influence for a more sustainable and equitable world.So, on this Earth Overshoot Day, let's pledge to be responsible stewards of our planet and champions for positive change. Together, we can tackle the Climate Crisis, protect biodiversity, and build a more just and sustainable world for generations to come. 💫🌎💙
