B IO-ECONOMY AND C IRCULAR ECONOMY IN FLANDERS
Flanders’ vision and strategy on thebioeconomy
Interdepartmental Working Group on Bioeconomystarted in 2012
Annual report to the Flemish Government
Exchange of information and consolidation acrossseveral policy domains: R&I, agriculture, environment, energy, education, investment
Strategy and first action plan in 2013; now in revision
Link with circular economy and renewable energy policies, on regional and European level
Bio-economy strategy: 5 strategicgoals
Policy coherenceStrength in Research and Innovation, andEducationSustainable production and use of biomassCompetitive bio-economy sectors and marketsEuropean and international cooperation
Government of FlandersA long term strategy for the future
Seven transition priorities
1. Circular Economy
2. Smart living
3. Industry 4.0
4. Lifelong learning and a dynamic professional career
5. Healthcare and welfare
6. Transport and mobility
7. Energy
Transition Circular Economy
“Circular Flanders”
Ministers Joke Schauvliege (Environment) & Philippe Muyters(Employment, Economy, Innovation and Sports) Transition manager Jiska Verhulst (OVAM)Strategy approved VR 24 February 2017
The development of a competitive bioeconomyproducing biomass in a sustainable way and(re)using side and end streams for food andfeed, materials, products and energy is explicitlyincluded
Transition Circular Economy
“Circular Flanders”: Ministers Joke Schauvliege (Environment) & Philippe Muyters(Employment, Economy, Innovation and Sports)
Transition manager Jiska Verhulst (OVAM)
Public-Private Steering Group -> chair of InterdepartmentalWorking Group on Bioeconomy is a member
Project groups -> Interdepartmental Working Group on Bioeconomy => project group bioeconomy
Policy research center on ‘Sustainable management in a circulareconomy’
Circular Economy strategy: building on Materials
Management Programme 2012-2016
New within circular economy (2017-….) compared toprevious materials management programme
Biomass – Water – Energy – Food
New approach: roadmaps 2017-2022
Supply driven priorities: circular public procurement (green deals), circular cities and circular entrepreneurship
Demand driven support: For partners and stakeholdersthrough Communication and Community building
Policy oriented research through “SuMMa+”Sustainable materials management in a circular economy
Policy research center SuMMa+ Sustainable materials management in a circular economy
To monitor, stimulate and contextualise the progress of theFlemish region towards a circular economy with minimal useof materials, energy and space and minimizing the impact on the environment
Period 2017-2021, building on the results of the former policy research center on sustainable materials management SuMMa (2012-2016)
Financed by 2 ministers to link the policy domains of environment, economy, research and innovation
Bioeconomy related requests for research put forward fromthe Interdepartmental Working Group for the Bioeconomy
New Cluster Policy (2016)
Spearhead clusters Innovative business networks
• Cluster organisation as facilitator
• Removal of obstacles for growth
• Activities along the innovation spectrum (all TRL-levels)
Strategic domains (+/- 5) Bottom up (+/- 15)
Ambitious, Top down Smaller scale
Long term vision (10 year) – monitoring Short term results (3 year)
Triple Helix (comp, KI, gov) All relevant actors, focus on businesses
ContractMax 10y ; max 500 k€/y funding
Contract based on action plan up to 3y max 150 k€/y funding
50% private investment
5 clusters currently approved 14 IBNs approved

Cluster Policy and Smart Specialization (2)Vanguard Initiative: co-operation between regions
Pilot ‘Bioeconomy’: 7 cases of which two are co-ordinated by Flemish partner: biobased aromatics (VITO, Ludo Diels) en (waste) gas into value: (FBBV, Sofie Dobbelaere) Flanders is also partner in demo cases Lignocellulose Refinery, Bio Aviation Fuel, and Food & Feed from Agrofood Waste
• MoU with BIC Bio Industries Consortium (June 2016)
-> March 2017: decision on foundation of V.I. as a not-for-profit organization under Belgian law, members to pay fees
