Investing and creating synergies for a European #circular #bioeconomy. The private partner in the #circular #biobased public-private partnership @CBE_JU

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

With around 30 investment companies in the room at @Bio_Markets Bio Innovations, @AgataKotkowska from @EU_ENV kicked off the Bioeconomy Investment Deployment Group, supported by @CBE_JU (& us, of course). Let’s get #biobased businesses the 💶 they need to scale up!

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Joining forces with @CBE_JU at @Bio_Markets Bio Innovations event today. Let’s take Europe’s bioeconomy to the next level with finance, funding & connections that help businesses to scale up!

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Coming to @Bio_Markets event Bio Innovations at The Hague 10-11 June? BIC will be there too! ⏰Listen to our panel discussion at 10:30CET on Day 1 on financing scaling up - especially biorefineries🏭💶. And swing by to visit our stand for more info on how we can help you grow🫵

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Read about Europe's bio-based industries in action! These projects are proof that our partnership with the @EU_Commission is growing 🇪🇺's bioeconomy. The #sustainable way to a competitive European economy!

[Circular Bio-based Europe Joint Undertaking @CBE_JU]

📢 24 new CBE JU-funded projects have been launched!

Backed by €172 million, they bring together 332 beneficiaries from 32 countries to scale up #competitive circular #biobased industries in Europe.

SMEs will receive 47% of the awarded budget.

We're in Portugal today w/ @CBE_JU promoting the 2026 open call for proposals. More than €170m is available to help scale up #biobased innovations. While in Portugal, we're also visiting companies at the @BiocantPark technology park & BIC member @BiotrendA

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Thanks to @Bio_Markets for highlighting our recent report on the opportunities for 🇪🇺 defence offered by dual-use of #biobased materials. At a time of business & geopolitical instability, this could be a win-win for 🇪🇺defence & European companies https://t.co/pd8fFNeG7m

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

We see the upcoming EU procurement rules as a strategic opportunity for 🇪🇺 to sustainably increase its resilience - by turning to the bio-based industries. We explain more in our latest publication https://t.co/u247thaqu4

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Europe's strategic autonomy is under pressure. Resilience isn’t enough, we need competitiveness.

Unlocking the bioeconomy is key. Bio-based industries reduce dependence on fossil imports, boost innovation, and strengthen independence.

Europe's next industrial leap should be bio-based. The future is sustainable, competitive, and within reach.

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

@ar_ecoadvisor @CBE_JU @EU_Commission That 170 million euros is just the money for the 2026 call. Over 7 years, it's a 2 billion euro partnership. For every 1 euro of public money, the private sector invests 3 - and this private amount goes up to 5 when you consider the biorefineries!

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

🤝 We’re at today’s @CBE_JU Networking Event, gathering those who want to collaborate in the 2026 open call. 💶 More than 170 million euros will go to projects innovating and scaling up in the bio-based industries across 13 topics. BIC partners w/ the @EU_Commission on this

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

BIC Executive Director @philippemengal talks about what changed in his time away from the European bioeconomy, his thoughts on the current state of things - and what still needs to happen https://t.co/MiRIK0gGHA

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Europe can’t afford to just react. We need to stay competitive! The #bioeconomy (& #biobased industries) are our strategic edge: less dependence on fossil imports, more innovation and a truly sustainable path forward. Europe’s next industrial revolution should be biobased!

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

We are at the @bioeastsup Annual Project Meeting in Croatia. BIC is a partner in this project to empower stakeholders in the Central Eastern European countries to develop national bioeconomy action plans and long-lasting structures for national and macro-regional cooperation

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

BIC welcomes the Paris Alignment Framework - Low Carbon published by the @EIB today. The use of food and feed crops is now ELIGIBLE for the production of biomaterials & biochemicals under certain conditions. A major step forward👏👏👏https://t.co/nfAsHm2qKQ

[Euroseeds @EuroseedsEU]

📢 Euroseeds joins a coalition of more than 20 stakeholders calling to keep agriculture & the bioeconomy at the heart of Horizon Europe 2028–2034.

We support the ITRE draft by Christian Ehler but warn: removing explicit references risks weakening visibility and impact.

🌾These sectors are key to food security, sustainability & the EU’s green transition and therefore we urge policy-makers to keep the original policy window title supported by the @EU_Commission.

Read our statement ℹ️ https://t.co/wK9yhn34jH

#GrowingTheFuture #sustainableagriculture #bioeconomy #HorizonEurope

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

We encourage policymakers to retain the original policy window structure as proposed by the European Commission. Doing so will ensure continuity, clarity, and the right conditions for innovation to thrive. Read the joint letter & see the signatories here https://t.co/cLxxsL8QgU

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Following the 🇪🇺ITRE draft report, BIC has signed a joint statement alongside a broad coalition of European stakeholders, calling for agriculture and the bioeconomy to remain clearly recognised in the next EU Framework Programme.

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

Proposed changes to the policy window title (Amendments 48 and 51) would remove explicit references to agriculture and the bioeconomy. While seemingly minor, such changes risk weakening the visibility of sectors that are fundamental to Europe’s transition.

[Bio-based Industries Consortium @biconsortium]

BIC has signed a joint position paper stressing that the 🇪🇺EU Biotech Act II must be a dedicated and globally ambitious piece of legislation capable of delivering biomanufacturing scale-up and market deployment across Europe🏭🌿 https://t.co/hhJUv2N1p0
