A formal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between both Biobased Delta and Bioindustrial Innovation\u00a0Canada was signed yesterday during the Bio World Congress on Industrial Biotechnology in Philadelphia at the Holland Pavilion, coordinated by BE-Basic Foundation. The MOU, effective May 14, 2014, calls for\u00a0collaboration on such areas as pyrolysis, chemicals from sugars and lignin-based materials. It extends for a\u00a0three-year period.<\/p>\n

Fruitful cooperation<\/h3>\n

\u201cWe very much welcome our partnership with Bioindustrial Innovation Canada, primarily in order to\u00a0collaborate on joint promising biobased business opportunities\u201d, says Dr. Willem Sederel, Managing Director\u00a0of Biobased Delta. \u201cOur core values of entrepreneurship, innovation, inclusiveness and pragmatism fit\u00a0perfectly with the ambitions of Bioindustrial Innovation Canada. We are looking forward to a fruitful\u00a0cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dr. Murray McLaughlin, Executive Director of Bioindustrial Innovation Canada, calls the cooperation\u00a0agreement \u201can exciting opportunity as we move forward in catalyzing the commercialization of biobased and\u00a0sustainable chemistry-based technologies, creating jobs and economic value for Canada\u201d. He continues: \u201cIt\u00a0recognizes the key elements of the innovation strategies of the Canadian and Dutch governments, including\u00a0the concept of regional innovation clusters and the development of sustainable chemistry technology\u00a0platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Joint projects and educational programs<\/h3>\n

Relationships between industrial, academic or governmental organizations will be established in order to\u00a0initiate joint projects in research, development, demonstration or commercial partnering. Biobased Delta and\u00a0Bioindustrial Innovation Canada will support the initiation of these projects and the acquisition of private\u00a0and\/or public funds to finance the projects.<\/p>\n

This collaboration will also contribute to building enablers for scientific community development. It includes\u00a0sharing of knowledge and best practices, organizing seminars and scientific conferences, attracting and\u00a0developing young talent. The development of joint educational programs in the field of novel biobased\u00a0processes and products and the wide communication of scientific results are also included.<\/p>\n

About Biobased Delta<\/h3>\n

Biobased Delta is an open innovation cluster based on a successful crossover between the agro, horticulture\u00a0and chemical sector. Entrepreneurs, knowledge institutions and government agencies strengthen the front\u00a0runner position of the South-western Netherlands in the biobased economy. Biobased Delta focuses on green\u00a0raw materials, green building blocks and a sustainable process technology. The innovation cluster aims for an\u00a0optimal link to education and educational institutes.<\/p>\n

Bioindustrial Innovation Canada is Canada’s preeminent accelerator for the commercialization of large-scale\u00a0industrial biotechnology and related sustainable chemistry. Within the bioindustrial alliance the SME sector,\u00a0government agencies, multinationals and knowledge institutions collaborate to turn renewable resources,\u00a0such as agricultural and forestry by-products and wastes, into energy and value-added chemicals for use in\u00a0applications ranging from construction to automotive parts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
