DUE TO THE CANCELLATION OF THE EVENT, THE EXHIBITION WILL NO LONGER TAKE PLACE AT THE WORLD BIO MARKETS CONGRESS
For the 2021 World Bio Markets Congress, ASN will present an exhibition combining the worlds of art and innovation. It reached out to universities, research institutes and industries in order to provide an extraordinary perspective on the bio-economy to the field’s key-players and stakeholders, through the means of art exhibition.
The exhibition titled Capture the Future(s): OUR BIO-TECH PLANET. The Routes to Roots Network and Beyond will bridge two interdisciplinary ASSET projects: CHIC & Rhizosphere and show various artwork created by international artists in collaboration with scientists in the field of life sciences and biotechnology.

World Bio Markets is an annual congress of key-players in the field of bio-economy. It is the largest meeting of delegates from research institutions, companies, start-ups, universities, organizations, industries in Europe. The next World Bio Markets will take place at the Passenger Terminal Amsterdam, from March 29-31, 2021. Organized by ASN partner, Bio Market Insights, World Bio Markets’ goal is to connect the bio-industry value chain, from lab to market, and driving change through commercially viable and sustainable innovation.
“Why World Bio Markets is more important than ever? We are facing rapidly evolving socio-economic and environmental challenges that have us on a collision course with some of humanity’s most existential threats. We need to act fast to avert disaster. Fortunately, human ingenuity and technical innovation are keeping pace with change and offering hope for a future that will enable us to sustainably fuel, clothe, feed and heal a growing population on a rapidly evolving planet. World Bio Markets 2020 is at the nexus of this revolution, attracting the innovators that are driving tangible results from lab to market.”

ASN is proud to present an exhibition bridging two of its interdisciplinary ASSET (Art/ Sciene/ Society/ Education/ Technology = Innovation) projects: CHIC & Rhizosphere, providing survey of artworks created by international artists in collaboration with scientists in the field of life sciences and biotechnology:
In the face of threats and challenges of the age of Anthropocene, we turn to the roots – not only to metaphorical ones, but to incredibly effective and durable plant root-systems that have evolved over millions of years. How can we use wise knowledge “from the roots” to improve the quality of our shared / community life, and wisely head towards what we do want to become, towards the world in which we want to live?
The exhibition involves interdisciplinary conversations, which aim to raise awareness of the environmental and social-political issues of our time. In this mutual exchange, artists instigated by new scientific researches related to sustainable solutions to bio development, genetic engineering, ecology, etc. In their turn, scientists, bioengineers and stakeholders in the bio-economy can engage in a productive dialogue with creative people that promotes the visibility of their projects.
