DG GROW’s workshop “Biobased Industries and Biomaterials - Opportunities for Acceleration”
On 10th May DG GROW organized a workshop “Biobased Industries and Biomaterials - Opportunities for Acceleration”. They discussed about many relevant issues such as: how can they stimulate the demand for bio-innovation chemicals, and biobased materials and products, e.g., through public procurement, standardisation, and labelling; in which areas and how could the EU accelerate the uptake of biobased materials, products and chemicals; which specific skills shortages are currently an obstacle to scaling up biobased production processes; what are the main issues to be addressed regarding the availability/supply and price of biobased feedstocks at a longer term. See more below.
The programme is co-financed by the Slovenian Enterprise Fund and the European Union, namely from the European Fund for Regional Development. It is carried out on the basis of the Substantial Support of Fund Recipients (SME) programme from 2018 to 2023 within the framework of the Operational Programme for the Implementation of European Cohesion Policy from 2014 to 2020.
