(Italiano) What’s Your Story? BIOlogic: When bacteria become microscopic workers
What if the factories of the future were alive? BIOlogic has spent years exploring how bacteria can produce materials for everything from fashion to cosmetics. Now, that same knowledge is taking the team somewhere new: towards advanced wound care.

(Italiano) What’s Your Story? JSSYSTEMS: What if we could test drugs closer to the way the human body really works?
For years, cancer researcher Sebastian Student (DSc, PhD, Eng, Associate Professor at Silesian University of Technology) worked with cells grown in conventional laboratory dishes. But the more he studied them, the more one limitation became difficult to ignore: cells in a dish are not cells in a human body. That observation set him on a journey to build a different way of testing potential medicines.

(Italiano) What’s Your Story? VETREGEN: What if an implant could help the body rebuild itself?
An implant is usually designed to replace what the body has lost. But what if it could do something more? For the team behind VETREGEN, one question is driving an ambitious experiment in regenerative medicine: can we build an implant that supports the body today - while helping it rebuild itself for tomorrow?

(Italiano) What’s Your Story? URiNBB: Could a urine sample help change how we detect bladder cancer?
Some scientific questions disappear when an experiment ends. Others stay with you. For the researcher behind URiNBB, one persisted for years: could discoveries hidden deep within the molecular biology of cancer become a simpler, less invasive way to detect the disease?

(Italiano) What’s Your Story? TarGLiO: When a scientific breakthrough becomes a reason for hope
For years, the nanoparticles refused to go where Carlos Caro and his colleagues needed them to go. Then one experiment changed everything. Today, the team behind TarGLiO is trying to turn that laboratory breakthrough into something far more consequential: a new therapeutic possibility for people facing one of the most aggressive forms of brain cancer.

(Italiano) Eight projects selected to drive Europe’s biomanufacturing collaboration through IBIGs. Building a European community for the future of biomanufacturing
Interregional Biomanufacturing Interest Groups (IBIGs) are at the heart of the BRIDGE project's collaborative approach to strengthening Europe's biomanufacturing ecosystem. Rather than functioning as traditional thematic working groups, IBIGs bring together researchers, industry representatives, healthcare organisations, innovation agencies, SMEs, investors, public authorities and other ecosystem actors from Catalonia, Campania and Silesia to jointly identify strategic opportunities for interregional cooperation.

(Italiano) BRIDGE Open Call selects 10 early stage biomanufacturing teams to accelerate Europe’s next generation of innovation
Europe's future in medical biomanufacturing depends not only on breakthrough ideas, but also on the strength of the ecosystems that enable them to grow. This is the ambition behind the BRIDGE (Biomanufacturing Regions for Integrated Development and Growth in the Ecosystems) project, a two-year initiative funded by the European Union under the Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) Instrument.

(Italiano) Beyond regional borders: how BRIDGE’s Interregional Biomanufacturing Interest Groups (IBIGs) are strengthening Europe’s next innovation ecosystem
One of the greatest challenges facing Europe's biomanufacturing sector today is not a lack of talent, ideas or potential. It is fragmentation. Knowledge remains dispersed across regions. Skills shortages persist despite growing demand. Promising companies often struggle to navigate complex regulatory environments or secure the resources needed to scale. Meanwhile, opportunities for collaboration across regional ecosystems frequently remain untapped.

(Italiano) BRIDGE: Rewiring Europe’s biomanufacturing future
In laboratories, industrial parks and research centres across Europe, a quiet transformation is underway. It is not driven by a single breakthrough or a lone discovery, but by a broader realisation: the future of Europe’s economic resilience, healthcare systems and environmental sustainability may depend on its ability to manufacture biology at scale.
