Decoupling supply of raw material + bio-manufacturing
“We will have access to producing any type of products without the limitation of the raw material.”
Description
“Using engineered materials. Building them cell by cell. Building them from the molecular level. So, instead of using components that have to be either mined or harvested or whatever, we engineer those materials. We can engineer the raw materials right now. And there are many startups that are working on it right now in Europe, but also in North America. And why do I say that these will be disruptive? Because that would decouple supply from the raw material sources. We have lived in a manufacturing environment in which the manufacturing was tightly coupled to where the raw materials were sourced, either in the form of minerals or harvest or whatever. If we can decouple that, then Europe, especially, might have a very good competitive edge.”
