Description

The bio-based sector is one of Europe’s most resource-intensive. As a key player in the economy, it serves as an impetus towards circular business models of resource efficiency. Recent developments in bio-based nanomaterials are combined with biotechnologies to convert renewable resources into high value-added biopolymers used by the food packaging, construction, automotive and printed electronics sectors. The EU-funded BIOMAC project will create an Open Innovation Test Bed (OITB) ecosystem openly accessible by SMEs and the industry to a single-entry point. The project envisages establishing an open collaboration community that supports innovation and minimises investment risks. OITB services will assess regulation, safety, sustainability, circularity and market potential with modelling, process control, standardisation and characterisation.
