24 September 08:15-09:00Umeå Biotech Incubator, Conference room "Skogen"

Welcome to a UBI House breakfast & seminar at Tvistevägen 48, in conference room "Skogen". UBI offers breakfast from 8.15, and the seminar starts at 8.30. 

Speaker: Madeleine Hollander & Sofie Bechaouch, Agteria Biotech. 
Seminar: ”Closing the loop in agriculture discovery – building an AI discovery engine with wet lab validation”

About: Agteria is building a discovery platform for biology, starting with agriculture. Customers provide their desired properties for a product, and our platform designs the biology to deliver them, generating new, synthesizable candidates far faster than traditional discovery. The technology is modality agnostic, spanning small molecules, peptides, and enzymes, with potential across every industry built on biology. Our first compound reduces cattle methane by 30% at less than a gram per animal per day.

In this seminar, Madeleine Hollander and Sofie Bechaouch will share the journey on how Agteria Biotech went from being a methane emission reducing company to being an AI discovery company aiming towards being the first company to fully close the biological loop.

Registration deadline (for breakfast): Friday, September 18.  

Participation fee: This event is sponsored by Umeå Biotech Incubator (UBI) with support from the European Union. There is no actual fee for participating. For delegates from the industry, state-aid/de-minimis will be accounted for corresponding to 50 SEK per person.

State aid & de-minimis: Umeå Biotech Incubator is obliged to account for activities they arrange, and support they provide, that are directed to specific companies or a group of companies where the receiving companies do not pay market price for the participation. The value of this support is accounted for as state-aid. 
Small amounts of State aid (‘de minimis’ aid) are exempted from State aid control, as they are deemed to have no impact on competition and trade in the internal market of the European Union (EU). De minimis aid indeed refers to small amounts of State aid to undertakings (companies) that do not have to be notified to the European Commission by the EU Member States.
The maximum amount is € 300,000 for each undertaking over 3 years.
De minimis can also be granted to large companies that are not entitled to larger sums of state-aid under Article 22.
