Main aims of the Platform activity  to build a platform between science and industry in scope of development of new Biotechnologies  to integrate key economic and research partners interested in technologies based on bioprocesses  to build a strategy for developing modern Biotechnology in Poland  to elaborate implementation methods of new biotechnologies in industrial processes, health care, environment and agriculture  to take optimum advantage from Structural Funds  to participate actively in European Research Programmes  to promote processes and products of Biotechnology  to cooperate in creating the policy and law facilitating development of Biotechnology

7. National Framework Programme Key Research areas:  Industrial Biotechnology:  Replacement of traditional non-biological industrial processes with bioprocesses and obtaining high added-value products: - bio-pharmaceutics - new biocatalysts - particular chemicals and semi-finished products for pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry - new generation food products - bio-pesticide  Production of biomaterials (e.g. bio-degradating plastics) and bio- fuels from renewable raw materials  Bioremediation

8. National Framework Programme Key Research areas:  Biotechnology in Medicine  Molecular diagnostics  Therapy and prevention  Biotechnology in Agriculture  Obtaining plants resistant to patogens, pests and abiotic stressful factors  Obtaining higher crops and agri-food production of high quality  Lunching of transgenic plants for production of vaccines, recombined proteins and as renewable raw materials  Plants production for industrial biotechnology sector

9. National Framework Programme Leading technologies of Biotechnology sector:  Albumin medicines  Vaccines for people and animals: edible and anti-cancer  Medical diagnostics  Reagents for Molecular Biology  Biocatalysts  Bio-fuels  Biomaterials and functional chemicals: bioactive bandages, bio- enzyms  Bioremediation  Micro-reproduction of plants  Culture of cells and tissues in Medicine
