The Bio-based Industries Initiative is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) between the European Commission and the Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC).
The European Commission’s proposal for Horizon 2020 and the Strategy and Action Plan for a Sustainable Bioeconomy in Europe mention the use of public- private partnerships (PPP’s) in the form of a Joint Technology Initiative (JTI) for bio-based industries.
On 10 July 2013, the European Commission launched its Innovation and Investment Package containing 5 JTIs, including the newcomer on Bio-based Industries.
The PPP is an instrument to support industrial research and innovation, to overcome the innovation ‘valley of death’, the path from research to the marketplace. It encourages partnership with the private sector to fund and bring together the resources needed to address the challenges involved in commercialising major society-changing new technologies.
The industry is organised in a Bio-based Industries Consortium. The Consortium currently brings together more than 60 European large and small companies, clusters and organisations across technology, industry, agriculture and forestry. They have all committed to invest in collaborative research, development and demonstration of bio-based technologies within the PPP.
