BioBIGG - Bioeconomy in the South Baltic Area: Biomass-based Innovation and Green Growth
“The main project aims at mobilizing the innovation potential related to unutilized biological resources in the Agro-Industrial value chains. The project will thus strengthen the SME innovation capacity by the means of cross-border knowledge transfer, advisory activities and preparation of pilot projects and investments. Bioeconomy is the production and utilisation of biological resources, innovative biological processes and principles to sustainably provide goods and services across all economic. Thus the bioeconomy can be described as the next economic development wave shaping the post-fossil society, in which new biomass-based materials and products are introduced. On this background the bioeconomy and its biological resources represent a unique platform for innovation efforts and business opportunities. In many countries SMEs are key drivers of biomass-based innovation. Yet, there is a need to empower the enterprises and other actors to participate in bioeconomy development in the South Baltic Area. The countries in the South Baltic Area fall into four different bioeconomic categories. The bioeconomy in Poland is dominated by agriculture, whereas Danmark and Germany are geared towards the Agro-Food Industry and Bio-based chemical industries. Sweden´s turnover from the bioeconomy is primarily generated form the forestry and the related industries. And Lithuania is categorised as a non-specialised county. When it comes to the regions located within the South Baltic Area there are though many similarities. They all have a large share of agriculture, and there are a number of urban areas and agglomerations, in which food manufacturing and chemical plants are situated. The seed funding is needed in order to shape a new comprehensive cross-border partnership, establish an overview of the present bioeconomy challenges and opportunities in the regions in the South Baltic Area, and to ensure a focused main project. “
