Ghent University   is a strong player in biotechnology research. It houses the Flemish Institute for Biotechnology ( VIB ), a world-class leading biotechnology research institute with a pioneering tradition in plant genetic engineering. The Faculty of Bioscience Engineering is concentrating its research efforts towards the use of renewable resources, industrial biotechnology and biorefining within the Centre for Industrial Biotechnology (CIB) and the Centre of Renewable Resources ( CoRR ). The development of bio-based products is one of the focal points of Ghent University and Ghent Bio-Energy Valley  ;  its activities cover all aspects of the innovation chain, starting from the fundamental science to multidisciplinary Research and Development projects, application development and finally industrial valorisation and industrialisation.).
