BioYorkshire is a ten-year programme that will accelerate the translation and application of research discoveries in the bioeconomy into full scale biotechnology applications.

There is exceptional capacity in York and North Yorkshire for the scaling up and delivery of excellence in this area – up to 10% of the UK’s entire bioeconomy is already present in this region.

It will use the region’s world class science base to deliver the profitable bio-based production of chemicals, materials, and fuels. The project will also support net-zero food production, farming and wider land use practices.

The ambitious programme - an innovative public-private partnership - includes the University of York, Fera Science, Askham Bryan College and a range of private sector partners. 

Together, it will transform the UK’s bioeconomy through an ‘end to end’ programme going from world-class research through to translation facilities to study the application of this research, then a network of specialised business incubators, training and skills and entrepreneurial support to create and grow companies to commercially produce the industrial and consumer products from the research.
