Abstract
The entrance into the new millennium is branded by intensive development of science and new technologies. Life science and biotechnologies are widely recognize to be, after ICT, the parallel wave of knowledge – based economy, creating new opportunities for our society and economies. This application is the basic object of Lisbon strategy in Europe. This new trends, to make full use of biotechnology for sustainable economy, is official titled as bioeconomy
 around the world. The characteristics of bioeconomy and utilization of industrial biotechnology are presented in this article.
Highlights
The development of the world society since the last decades of the past century and the beginning of a new millennium has been characterised by several specific factors (SAFRANSKI, 2006): - The process of globalisation has come into the phase, defined as a stage of fast economic growth, yet accompanied by the world global problems
Many of them cannot be resolved by individual nation-states acting alone: deterioration of soil, air and water pollutions, global warming, exploitation of natural resources, problems connected with the world population growth - to name the most essential ones. - Contemporary and future economic and social growth is conditioned by the building of a knowledge-based economy
The knowledge and operative introduction of new scientific results into practice have become the basic pillars for further development. - In connection with the environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, accumulation of wastes and other negative anthropogenic activities, exigency of sustainability and sustainable development have come to the forefront of progress
Summary
The development of the world society since the last decades of the past century and the beginning of a new millennium has been characterised by several specific factors (SAFRANSKI, 2006): - The process of globalisation has come into the phase, defined as a stage of fast economic growth, yet accompanied by the world global problems. - A new phase of scientific and technical revolution came after automatisation, regulation and robotisation started three decades ago. It is a stage of biological revolution, nanotechnology and ICT (Information and Communication Technologies). From this short characteristics of the contemporary and future development follows that the knowledge and new scientific results applicable in practice are motive forces for further growth of economy, decrease of environmental pollution and sustainment of natural resouces
