Biotechnology is a cross-section technology, encompassing biology and biochemistry, but also physics, chemistry, engineering, materials science and computer science.
Modern biotechnology is one of the drivers of innovative change in a variety of sectors: health care and pharmaceuticals, green technologies and food production, and it provides many opportunities for the development of new products and services.
It will have a significant impact on the efficiency and competitiveness of some of the biggest and most important sectors of the Croatian economy - pharmaceutics, agriculture and food production.
Today, biotechnology is multitalented, therefore, a distinction is made between red (medicine), green (agriculture), blue (marine life) and white (industry) biotechnology.
