BioNordum

Food & Health Concept Center

Green transition in focus
BioNordum develops biological fungicides for the agricultural industry and is launching a natural, safe, eco-suitable and sustainable product that effectively combats grey mould, one of the world´s most serious plant diseases. This product will eventually be able to replace the toxic chemicals that are in current use.

All of this year´s Venture Cup Väst winners featured a green trend in their plans. Sustainable growth is also something that Venture Cup wishes to support.

Several entries originating from GIBBS
Of the total of thirteen companies nominated for the final in Venture Cup Väst, another three in addition to BioNordum originate from GIBBS; Auremune, which is developing the world´s first preventive allergy treatment, Traccine Pharmaceuticals which is developing the world´s first vaccine against Chlamydia and Simplexia whose business idea encompasses a vaccine against genital herpes.
 
GIBBS supplies tomorrow´s entrepreneurial leaders
BioNordum traces its roots to the Göteborg International Bioscience Business School, GIBBS, a joint initiative by Chalmers University of Technology, University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska Academy. GIBBS was created in close cooperation with the regional health care organisation and biotech/pharmaceutical companies and provides tomorrow's entrepreneurial leaders with the skills and support they need to succeed.
