Bio-Innovation Poster Zone
Supported by IBioIC, BioVale, BDC – Biorenewables Development Centre, BioYorkshire, Cosmetics Cluster and University of York

CHEMUK 2022 saw the introduction of the ‘Bio-Innovation’ Poster Zone
The initiative brought together ‘poster displays’, from across the rapidly evolving ‘biochemical/industrial biotech’ landscape. The zone provided a hugely valuable showcase of some of the most exciting breakthrough innovation in this sector from:
- Start-up innovation companies
- University spin-out companies
- Research groups/Incubator projects

CHEMUK 2022 Bio-Innovation Posters include:
Starbons

Find out more‘One-Bar’ product concept by Surfachem
Surfachem’s poster promotes our ‘One-Bar’ product concept. This product concept was developed by our laboratory in Huddersfield to promote eco-friendly ingredients within personal care. It is a response to increasing consumer demand for sustainable and natural products. It is an all-in-one wash bar for hair and skin. As a bar it is more concentrated that liquid products, so last longer. It also boasts 98% less packaging.
