The Biofilm Alliance is a ground-breaking project dedicated to tackling the global challenges of microbial biofilms through collaborative research, innovation, and regulatory advancements.

The Biofilm Alliance unites experts from academia, industry, metrology, regulatory bodies, and standardisation organisations, bridging cutting-edge scientific research with practical applications in biofilm mitigation and control. This initiative aligns perfectly with Wales' vibrant life sciences sector, fostering advancements in health, environmental, and industrial technologies.
At the heart of the alliance is a commitment to addressing biofilm issues across key sectors: food, water, industrial processes, and built environment. Participants gain substantial benefits, including:
- Innovation and Efficiency: Tools and insights to create advanced technologies that minimise contamination risks and improve operational performance.
- Regulatory Influence: Opportunities to shape guidelines and standards for compliance and sustainability.
- Networking and Collaboration: Connections to a global expert community for knowledge sharing, joint initiatives, and funding prospects.
- Events and Training: Access to premier gatherings and sessions to lead in regulatory trends and best practices.
