NEURIED, Germany, Sept. 3,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AMSilk GmbH
("AMSilk"), a global leader in advanced
biomaterials made from spider silk-based proteins, today
announces it has been invited to join the World Economic
Forum's Global Innovators Community.
The Global Innovators Community, an invite-only initiative, was
established in 2019 to bring together companies making strides to
innovate and contribute meaningfully to solving the key issues
faced by people and the planet. By being selected as a Global
Innovator, AMSilk cements its status as one of the most promising
growth-stage companies at the forefront of innovation in its
industry.
Ulrich Scherbel, Chief
Executive Officer of AMSilk, commented: "Being invited
to join the World Economic Forum's Global Innovators Community
stands as testament to our status as a global leader in advanced
biomaterials. We look forward to continuing to demonstrate our
commitment to innovation, industrial biotechnology and the
advancement of the bioeconomy by contributing to the Forum's
important work and initiatives."
Verena Kuhn, Head of the
Global Innovators Community, World Economic Forum, said:
"The World Economic Forum is pleased to welcome AMSilk to our
Global Innovators Community. We are looking forward to the team's
engagement in our bioeconomy initiative, where AMSilk will work
with other global leaders to accelerate the global transition of
the tech-driven bioeconomy into the commercial mainstream."
AMSilk is at the forefront of innovation in advanced
biomaterials. Inspired by spider silk-based proteins, AMSilk
produces high-performance materials that can be used in a variety
of formulations, including fibers, yarns and hydrogels, for a range
of applications across textile, homecare and the automobile
industries.
AMSilk recently demonstrated the environmental promise of its
technology through an independent 'Cradle to Gate' Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA), conducted by Quantis, which verified the
environmental superiority of its Ultrafine Fiber compared to
mulberry silk. With its strong environmental credentials and a
record of collaborations with industry-leading global companies,
AMSilk is primed to connect with fellow leaders in the Global
Innovators Community to solve key issues for the future of the
planet.
As a member of the Global Innovators Community, AMSilk will
participate in two high-profile events later this year. The first,
the Special Meeting of the Innovator Communities, includes a
private session with Jörg Kukies, State Secretary, Federal
Chancellery of Germany which will
focus on pivotal topics shaping the future of innovation and
technology. In December, the Annual Meeting of the Innovator
Communities will be held in New York,
USA, where CEOs from the Unicorn, Global Innovator, and
Technology Pioneer communities will gather to network, workshop,
and discuss the latest challenges and developments in their
fields.
