Dear BIOECONOMY GIANTS reader,
Following the successful implementation of our first Open Call, BIOECONOMY GIANTS has just launched Open Call II – “Scaling up & Piloting”!
About Open Call II
Open Call II is looking for solutions that:
-
Turn side streams into high-value bio-based products achieving commercial viability;
-
Put primary producers at the heart of the value chain, creating fair, circular and collaborative business models;
-
Build new partnerships between farmers, foresters, rural actors and bio-based industries;
-
Optimise the use of secondary or underutilised biomass, improving circularity and resource efficiency;
-
Create resilient bio-based value chains across agriculture, agri-food and forestry, with solutions that can respond to changing market and environmental conditions.
OC II helps promising cooperative and circular bioeconomy solutions within a TRL range 6-8 by providing them with the resources needed to expand their impact and achieve commercial viability.
