BBI JU was part of the EU

Bioeconomy Strategy in 2012

Mission

Under Horizon 2020 rules, implement the Strategic Innovation and Research Agenda (SIRA) developed by the European Bio-based Industries Consortium (BIC)

and endorsed by the European Commission (EC)

European public-private partnership (iPPP) aims at:

BBI JU: Public Private Partnership

Develop sustainable and competitive bio-based industries in

Europe, based on advanced biorefineries that source their

biomass sustainably.

How? By implementing SIRA

BBI JU objectives

1. Demonstrating new technologies

2. Developing business models

3. Set up flagship biorefinery plants
