SUPERBIO SUpport and PartnERship for the development of multiple sustainable and market ready value chains in the BIObased economy This project will build at least 10 new, cross-sectoral and cross border value chains, supporting at least 30 third party SMEs through providing innovation support services with a total value of 1 800 000. New value chains will be built in the bio-based economy, an emerging economy with a large, but underexploited potential for new value chains. In short, the project (i) provides general and case specific open collaboration spaces for cross border and cross sectoral networking, coaching and advising, (ii) will validate ideas for new value chains, (iii) will help building new value chains and (iv) provide innovation support services that are essential elements for business planning and creating further leverage. Impact of this project on the consortium and the third party SMEs will be monitored and recommendations on the large-scale demonstrator approach will be reported to the EC. 27
STARBIO (under evaluation) STrategic Alliance of Regions for unlocking investments in the BIO based economy The main objective of STARBIO is to create and activate a standing European stakeholders platform of Regions, industries, private investors, representatives of rural and coastal communities, research centres and universities, relevant Bioeconomy consortia and associations and consumers associations, with the mission of facilitating the transfer of best practices in the biobased economy to Regions that have a still unexploited potential of valorising local available bioresources into profitable and sustainable value chains. Through the platform set-up and animation, STARBIO intends to build a favourable ecosystem for unlocking large scale investments in the Bioeconomy sector generating valuable opportunities for the revitalisation of local economies, the increase of knowledge, the improvement of life quality and the reduction of GHG emissions. 28
TEAMING (second stage of the competition) One step closer to International Centre for Research on Innovative Bio-Based Materials (acronym: ICRI- BioM) in Lodz. The European Commission announced the results of Stage 1 of the Teaming Call concerning the establishment of Centers of Excellence. The action is part of Horizon 2020.15 eligible member states submitted 169 proposals for the Call. Three projects from Poland successfully made it to Stage 2, the International Centre for Research on Innovative Bio-based Materials among them. 29
