Shaping the future bioeconomy across sectoral, governmental and geographical levels

Project description

All eyes on a comprehensive bioeconomy

Building a bioeconomy innovation ecosystem for sustainable goods and services is important in a number of different sectors. The EU-funded ShapingBio project aims to support and accelerate such an ecosystem. To that end, it will map and analyse initiatives, structures, policy instruments, gaps in policy and governance, applied R&D and technology transfer, as well as collaboration and financing across the EU macro-regions and fields. It will work with stakeholders from various sectors and receive input from key actors. The results will lead to evidence-based and concrete information and recommendations for better policy-making and stakeholder activity. Moreover, it will support the EU Green Deal policy priorities and the EU’s climate ambition for 2030 and beyond.

Objective

The overall aim of ShapingBio is to support and accelerate bioeconomy innovation and the deployment of new knowledge in the EU and its member states. ShapingBio aims to provide evidence-based and concrete information and recommendations for better policy alignment and stakeholder actions to realize the cross-sectoral potential of the bioeconomy and to reduce the fragmentation across bio-based sectors and food system and policies across regions, domains and governance levels. These actions contribute significantly to the bioeconomy strategy and Action Plan, the farm to fork strategy, the EU Green Deal policy priorities and the EU's Climate ambition for 2030 and 2050.

For that purpose, ShapingBio aims to create a better understanding and information basis of the bioeconomy innovation eco-system by providing a comprehensive mapping and analysis of initiatives, structures, policy instruments and key gaps related to the topics policy and governance, applied R&D and technology transfer, (cross-sectoral) collaboration and financing across the EU macro-regions and different sectors. This will be carried out in close collaboration with various types of stakeholders from different sectors, by ensuring the involvement of all the relevant actors. Multi-actor groups will be set up to support policy advice design, but also to propose new forms of matchmaking, networking and knowledge-transfer. Those propositions will be implemented and tested in around twenty events. Based on these actions, recommendations for an effective governance in terms of policy instrument and their mixes will be derived as well as guidelines for different stakeholder groups for better collaboration and exploitation of bioeconomy innovations. Follow-up events will be conducted, to ensure that the recommendations are understood, actively reflected and implemented into stakeholders' activities and action plans to foster the deployment of bio-based innovations.
