EV BIOTECH B.V & REPSOL
EV Biotech B.V, won the corporate challenge “Bio-indole for gasoline octane booster” in industrial biotechnology launched by Repsol.
Founded in 2018 by Linda Dijkshoorn, Sergey Lunev and Agnieszka Wegrzyn, EV Biotech is set to transform the development of Microbial Cell Factories. By digitalizing microorganisms, EV Biotech is able to accelerate strain engineering for the efficient and sustainable production of biomaterials. Combining in-house expertise with synergistic use of computational modeling together with strain engineering facilitates, significantly reducing the development time.
Throughout the strain development process, its approach increases the chances of success, production levels, financial forecasts, and time to market. By utilizing Microbial Cell Factories, the company aims to change product development towards more sustainable means.
Repsol wanted to find a partner to develop a new family of more efficient Bio-additives alternatives to Bio-ethers and EV Biotech became their best solution provider.
EV Biotech looks forward to working with Repsol in facilitating the transition towards sustainable sourcing of indole for the biofuel industry.
“Through this project, we aim to realize our combined ambition of improving CO2 impact of petrol consumption and work towards developing a high-efficiency octane booster”

HAYDALE $ SAINT-GOBAIN
Haydale won the “Tile grout as a ceramic in advanced materials” challenge launched by Saint-Gobain.
Saint-Gobain was looking for a partner to collaborate on developing a similar texture tile grout that has a mechanical & fungi resistance of a ceramic tile, due to the new aesthetic perspective required by the market.
Haydale is a global technologies and materials group that facilitates the integration of graphene and other nanomaterials into the next generation of commercial technologies and industrial materials. With expertise in graphene, silicon carbide, and other nanomaterials, Haydale is able to deliver improvements in electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties, as well as toughness through its state-of-the-art functionalization.
As part of the project, the team will reformulate CeramycGuard to produce a protective tile grout. This product could be used as a replacement for conventional grouts and would deliver a biologically impervious grout surface that is resistant to tarnishing and microbial growth. The end product would be more durable than typical grout, behaving more like an extension of the tile surface. In addition, the product could be used for in-situ repair to repair and protect existing grout meaning a full renovation or refit would not be required.
