About the event

Are you navigating the complex and evolving landscape of regulation in engineering biology? Join us for a cross-sector webinar designed to demystify the UK’s regulatory environment and provide practical, actionable insights for innovators, SMEs, researchers, and policy professionals.

This event will feature keynote speakers from the Food Standards Agency (FSA), real-world case studies from pioneering companies, and first-hand experiences from participants in the cell-cultivated proteins (CCP) regulatory sandbox. You’ll hear directly from regulators, industry leaders, SMEs and support networks about the challenges and opportunities in bringing novel food products to market.

What to expect

With interactive sessions, expert panels, and thematic breakout discussions, you’ll gain:

  • Clarity on regulatory requirements in the UK and beyond, with exemplars from the CCP sandbox
  • The chance to ask your questions directly to regulators and practitioners
  • Practical guidance on early engagement and dossier preparation to avoid downstream issues
  • Inspiration from case studies showing how regulation can be a springboard for innovation, not a barrier
  • Opportunities to connect, collaborate, and shape future regulatory support for the sector

Who should attend

Whether you’re an SME, researcher or policy professional, join us to connect, ask questions and shape the future of engineering biology together.
