Bio4Business is an independent initiative founded by scientist and author Professor Rolf D. Schmid. Building on decades of experience in academic research, industry and international scientific cooperation, it aims to make important developments in science, technology and innovation more accessible to an international audience.

Our activities focus on three regions, each covered by a dedicated website:

• Window to Europe (W2E) – Tracking Europe’s transition towards a more sustainable future, with particular attention to industrial innovation, renewable energy, circular technologies and the defossilization of the chemical industry.

• Window to China (W2C) – Observing scientific and technological developments in China, from biotechnology and healthcare to industrial innovation, energy and science policy.

• Window to Japan (W2J) – Highlighting selected Japanese advances in science and technology, particularly in biotechnology, healthcare, sustainable technologies and emerging industrial applications.

Rather than providing comprehensive news coverage, we select and present developments that deserve international attention, drawing wherever possible on original sources and scientific publications.

Our primary objective is to share knowledge, encourage dialogue and contribute to mutual understanding between Europe and Asia. We believe that reliable information and an appreciation of different scientific and technological approaches can help create opportunities for exchange, partnerships and international cooperation.

Building on our scientific expertise and international networks, Bio4Business also remains open to selected consulting assignments, joint publications and collaborative projects involving research institutions, industry and public organizations.

Three windows, one objective: Connecting knowledge, people and opportunities.
