Another area of employment which rarely gets discussed here on this forum is the field of industrial biotechnology, also known in Europe as "white" biotechnology.
This field is growing substantially and has nothing to do with human healthcare (most small biotech co's are healthcare related). Instead, this niche field is concerned with a cleaner environment and many other useable products.
Both the Biotechnology Industry Organization (BIO) and the Royal Belgium Council of Science have released substantial reports about this field, and I have placed links to these PDF's below. I hope it will be of interest to some readers,
