This factsheet aims to communicate the trends and barriers faced by the bio-based industry.
A stunning collection of 60 artistic pictures that associate commonly known feedstock (tomatoes, coffee, apples, oranges, etc.) with their surprising bio-based applications.
The booklet was developed thanks to the collaboration with the BIOVOICES project!
Biobridges developed the “Value chain collaboration challenges model” aiming to visualise the identified challenges, which are framed based on:
1. Challenges inside the value chain (Feedstock suppliers > Industry & Clusters > Market > Consumers) and outside the value chain (supporting environment), which is also essential to support the bio-based market, composed by:
2. Challenges between certain stakeholders in the value chain “problem owners”.
3. Stakeholders to be involved in addressing the challenge “potential collaborators”.
The aim of the model is to offer a practical ‘tool’ that can be used during the co-creation workshops to provide a conceptual mapping of the discussion, enabling an easy-to-see visualisation of the challenges, and at the same time, to narrow the discussion on certain challenges based on the scope of each workshop.
BIOBRIDGES is a 24 months action aiming at boosting the marketability of bio-based products – BBPs by establishing close cooperation and partnership between bio-based Industries – BBI, brand owners and consumers’ representatives. The ultimate goal is to stimulate and support the active engagement of and interaction among all stakeholders (including local communities and local authorities) and improve market acceptance of BBPs.
BIOBRIDGES will design and implement replicable methodologies, procedures and good practices supporting multi-stakeholders’ interaction, leading to new cross-sector partnerships.
Main activities will be:
At the end of the project, at least 2 new cross-sector interconnections in bio-based economy cluster will be established, while the foundations for the creation of new ones based on the arguments, best practices and recommendations deriving from the project will be formed.
The BIOBRIDGES consortium merges a variety of complementary expertise, aiming to build a consistent multi-actor approach integrating 9 partners already involve in other projects like BIOWAYS, BIOVoices and BIOSTEP.
