What do vanilla ice cream and the Corona vaccine have in common? Both of them are produced with the help of biotechnology, just as many other items of our everyday life - including bread, wine, apple juice, medicines, shampoo or even sneakers. But what exactly is biotechnology? It includes all technical applications in which humans make use of biological processes to manufacture a product. How has biotechnology developed over the centuries and where do we encounter it today? And above all, how can it help us to meet the challenges of the present and the future? The new acatech HORIZONS Biotechnology provides an overview of these and other exciting questions.
