TECHNOLOGY INFRASTRUCTURES FOR CHEMISTRY AND BIOTECHNOLOGY

Objective

"The chemical industry, often termed the ""industry of industries,"" plays a crucial role in the EU's economic landscape, supplying essential materials for various sectors and directly employing approximately 1.9 million individuals. However, the industry faces a severe dual challenge of adapting to a sustainable model while remaining globally competitive. ThinCBio aims to address these challenges by enhancing Technology Infrastructures (TIs) that facilitate the acceleration of green transitions within the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. ThinCBio seeks to unify existing capacities and identify strategic gaps, thereby creating a framework for faster scaling and reduced investment risks, particularly targeting the numerous forward-thinking start-ups and SMEs within the sector.

ThinCBio recognizes biotechnology's vital role in the green chemical transition, therefore targeting identified pilots for chemical and biomanufacturing processes (both pilot 7 and 10 identified by the EC Expert Group on TIs). Considering the current projections which indicate an 8.6% CAGR (’25-’32) growth in biotechnologically produced chemicals, the project aims to capitalize on this momentum. Furthermore, by fostering cross-sectoral collaboration and integrating diverse TIs into a cohesive roadmap, ThinCBio aspires to enhance visibility and utilization of resources, thereby improving further both innovation potential and sustainability.

The strategically assembled ThinCBio consortium, comprising experienced partners in technical, scientific, and policy domains ensures effective coordination and enhanced outreach. By leveraging existing data and stakeholder networks, ThinCBio will facilitate comprehensive engagement across various sectors, ultimately contributing to a resilient, competitive, and environmentally driven European chemical industry.
