Die Biologische Transformation der Wertschöpfung wird den Produktionsstandort Deutschland massiv verändern, ein Sachverhalt, der im Zuge der BIOTRAIN-Voruntersuchung erstmal umfangreich analysiert wurde. Im Ergebnis zeichnet die Voruntersuchung ein ganzheitliches Bild des Status-Quo Deutschlands, der zu erwartenden Umwälzungen, der Basistechnologien sowie der Handlungsfelder dieser Transformation.

The German manufacturing industry is forced to evolve its processes, techniques, and organizations due to increasing global competition and progressive sustainability requirements. In this context, the soaring possibilities of bio- and information technology have recently let few authors develop the vision of a biological transformation of manufacturing, a concept that to date has been barely concrete to politicians, scientists, and managers. In this paper, we present results of the first systematic assessment of the biological transformation of the German manufacturing industry. We chose a combination of the Delphi method and scenario planning in order to assess key technologies, determine the status quo of Germany and provide a forecast of potential developments. Thereupon, we identify ten fields of action for setting the course for a sustainable industrial value creation. We conclude with a summary and recommendations for decision makers in politics, industries and research.
