Finnish biocatalysis company MetGen has been awarded the 2019 European Technology Innovation Award by global research company Frost & Sullivan.

The judges chose to honour MetGen's enzyme technologies METNIN™ and ENZINE® as they "solve the industry’s major pain points regarding the valorization of lignin, shorter technology development cycles, and customization of enzymes for different applications."

METNIN™ enables products made from lignin to have a reduced carbon footprint while ENZINE® significantly reduces the technology development cycle of enzymes focused on biomass.
